Arsenal have signed Spain goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez on a free transfer, their sixth summer addition. The 27-year-old joins after leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season and will wear the number 16 shirt, competing for minutes with Daphne van Domselaar and Anneke Borbe.

In six years at Real Madrid, Rodriguez made 215 appearances - a club record - and was made captain last year. Since her senior international debut in 2021, she has earned 34 caps for Spain, including three as her side won the 2023 Women's World Cup, though she has since lost her starting role to Barcelona's Cata Coll.

"I'm so proud to join this great club. Arsenal is one of the top clubs in the world and I'm really excited to be part of the team and take on this new challenge," said Rodriguez. "I want to help us compete for trophies and make more history, together with our supporters."

Arsenal have had a busy transfer window under Renee Slegers, with Georgia Stanway, Ona Batlle, Selina Cerci, Geraldine Reuteler and Lisa Baum all joining. Last season they finished second in the WSL and reached the Women's Champions League semi-finals.
