• England forward joins Londoners on free transfer
• ‘I can’t wait to get stuck in and grow as a player,’ says Russo
Alessia Russo has admitted she is expecting to “grow as a player” after the England forward completed her move to Arsenal on a free transfer from Manchester United.
Russo, who is likely to be a part of England’s starting lineup at the Women’s World Cup later this month, was the subject of a world record bid of £500,000 bid from Arsenal in January that was rejected by United. But with the Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall having made the 24-year-old his main target this summer after his side finished third in the Women’s Super League, Russo is expected to become one of the league’s best-paid players having completed the switch to north London on Tuesday.
