Arsenal have completed the signing of England midfielder Georgia Stanway following the expiration of her Bayern Munich contract. The 27-year-old spent four seasons in Germany, winning four consecutive Bundesliga titles while making 128 appearances and scoring 32 goals for the Bavarian club.

Before her move abroad, Stanway established herself at Manchester City where she played 186 games and netted 67 times across seven seasons. She helped City secure one WSL crown, three FA Cups and three League Cups during her time in England's top flight. Her return represents a significant addition to Arsenal's midfield options ahead of the new campaign.

On the international stage, Stanway has contributed 33 goals in 93 England caps, playing a vital role in the Lionesses' European Championship victories in both 2022 and 2025. Renee Slegers praised her new signing, describing the midfielder as someone who brings experience and strengthens the club's winning mentality. The Arsenal manager believes Stanway will add a 'new dimension' to the team's engine room.

Stanway expressed her pride at joining the Gunners, calling it an 'unbelievable feeling.' She highlighted her ambition to win trophies and continue developing as a player at a club she views as driving the women's game forward. The signing strengthens Arsenal's squad depth as they prepare for pre-season training.
