Arsenal have reportedly agreed a world-record fee exceeding £1 million with Liverpool for Canadian forward Olivia Smith, poised to make her the most expensive player in women’s football history.
The 20-year-old’s move, subject to medical and personal terms, would surpass Chelsea’s £900,000 acquisition of Naomi Girma.
Smith, who joined Liverpool for £200,000 last summer and scored seven WSL goals, would join a star-studded Arsenal frontline.
Experts like Izzy Christiansen call the fee “massive,” highlighting its significance for the women’s game.
