WSL Top Scorer Vivianne Miedema Moves To Manchester City After Arsenal Exit

Manchester City have confirmed the acquisition of Vivianne Miedema on a free transfer. Miedema, who left Arsenal after seven years, is the Women's Super League's all-time top scorer with 79 goals. She also holds the record for most goals in a single season with 22.

Miedema has signed a three-year contract with Manchester City. She stated, "The reason I chose City is because they have the same ambitions as me. They want to win the league and titles. Looking to the future, I've always said I want to play with the best players in the world and I think City have got that."

She added, "I want to challenge myself every day in training but also every single week in the games we play." The forward aims to push her limits both in practice and during matches.

Miedema joined Arsenal from Bayern Munich in 2017. During her time at Arsenal, she scored 125 goals and provided 50 assists across 172 appearances in all competitions. Despite her success, injuries plagued her last two seasons, limiting her to just 13 appearances last season due to knee surgery.

Her tenure at Arsenal was marked by significant achievements. She won the WSL title in the 2018-19 season and lifted three Conti Cups. Additionally, she secured the Golden Boot award for two consecutive seasons.

Miedema's move to Manchester City marks a new chapter in her career. Her ambition aligns with City's goals of winning league titles and other honours. Fans eagerly anticipate seeing how she will contribute to City's success.

The signing of Miedema is expected to bolster Manchester City's attacking options significantly. Her proven track record as a prolific goal scorer makes her a valuable addition to the team.

As Miedema embarks on this new journey with Manchester City, both she and the club share high hopes for future successes on the pitch.
