Arsenal have confirmed that Vivianne Miedema will leave at the end of the season when her contract expires. The forward joined from Bayern Munich in 2017 and has scored 125 goals and provided 50 assists in 172 appearances, making her the Women’s Super League’s all-time leading scorer.
Miedema has made 13 appearances this season after being out from December 2022 to October 2023 because of an anterior cruciate ligament injury. She won one WSL title at Arsenal, in 2019, and was at the club for three League Cup triumphs, although she missed last season’s tournament and was not involved in the knockout games or final this season.
Arsenal’s sporting director, Edu, said: “We thank Viv for her huge contribution towards the success of the team during her seven years with us. Viv’s goals and overall performances as an Arsenal player have been of the highest quality, and she has created so many wonderful memories for us over the years. We wish Viv and her family the best of health and happiness for the future.”

Miedema had knee surgery in March and although the 27-year-old has played since, she has not been involved in the past two matches. Arsenal finish their WSL season at home to Brighton on Saturday.
