Emily Fox signs with Arsenal
explains why he joined the Gunners
In attendance for Arsenal’s December 4-1 victory against Chelsea
Consequently, what happened?
In an attempt to bolster and bolster their defence, Arsenal announced on Thursday that they had acquired Fox. Noelle Maritz, who signed a permanent contract with Aston Villa last weekend, has been replaced by Fox on a like-for-like basis. The USWNT defender has finally disclosed the factor that persuaded her to join the team captained by Jonas Eidevall. Fox disclosed that the record attendance of 59,042 at the Emirates Stadium during Eidevall’s team’s victory over title rivals Chelsea in December served as one of the factors that persuaded her to sign with Arsenal.
Fox’s Quotes
Being present and that game were truly the cherry on top. Following her move to Arsenal, Fox told Telegraph Sport, “After that game, I was just all jittery and excited.” There had been study done before, but that was the cherry on top that made me want to play here: the experience of it, the incredible atmosphere, the supporters and how loud they were, the football that was played, and defeating Chelsea.
“Why Arsenal? Their style of play and the way they handle themselves as a club, and how they want the women’s game to flourish and how they want to be an addition to that, wanting to get the girls to play in the Emirates as often as they can and giving the same facilities — that unity really excites me”
“When I first spoke with the club last year, I was just thrilled that they were interested,” the author said. Since I knew Lotte [Wubben-Moy] and Alessia [Russo] well, I contacted them to learn more about the club from their perspective. And now that I’m here, I can witness firsthand how committed the club is to unifying Arsenal with its youth, academy, women’s, and men’s teams.
