As we enter the final week of the Barclays Women's Super League 2024/25 season, it's time to decide our women's Player of the Season presented by Mastercard.
Our Gunners still have the small matter of a UEFA Women's Champions League final still to play and are looking to finish runners-up in the league, but who has been our standout player of the campaign?
Take a look at the contenders below.
MARIONA CALDENTEY
Few players in club history have made as immediate an impact as Mariona Caldentey. The World Cup and Champions League winner joined us from Barcelona in the summer and has already racked up 18 goals and 10 assists across all competitions, comfortably our highest combined total this season.
As both creator and finisher, our Spanish magician has put on some spectacular displays this season, playing a variety of roles across the midfield and forward line.
She earned her first Women's Super League Player of the Month award back in February after a stunning performance against Manchester City, in our thrilling 4-3 victory away from home. Most recently, her breathtaking strike to give us the lead against Lyon in the Champions League semi-final was named as the UEFA Goal of the Week.
daphne van domselaar
Another summer signing, Daphne van Domselaar has fit like a glove into this Arsenal side.
The Dutch international has recorded 13 clean sheets across 23 appearances and conceded just ten goals in the WSL all season. Better still, as our attention turns to the Champions League final against Barcelona, we have yet to lose a match in the Champions League with van Domselaar between the sticks.
From heroic stops against Real Madrid to impressive acrobatics against the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, van Domselaar has been a vital addition this campaign.
EMILY FOX
Since joining the club in January 2024 from the NWSL, Emily Fox has instantly made herself indispensable.
The US Women's National Team defender has barely missed a match this campaign, making 35 appearances across all competitions. Her unwavering determination and dynamism in both attacking build-up and one-v-one duels, not to mention pure quality on the ball, have proven invaluable across countless games this season.
Our right-back even bagged her first goal for the club against Valerenga in the Champions League, before scoring a screamer in the dying minutes of the north London derby.
KIM LITTLE
Amongst a host of new faces, club legend Kim Little continues to lead by example.
Our captain, who recently signed a new deal with the club that has already been her home for 15 seasons, has continued to show her relentless excellence when it matters most - recently and notably with a Player of the Match display in April's Champions League semi-final against Lyon.
Having joined the red and white in 2007, the summer after we lifted the UEFA Women's Cup against Umea, European glory is all that currently eludes Little's decorated career. As luck would have it, our Gunners have a chance to change that at the end of May in Lisbon.
alessia russo
Alessia Russo has had a dynamite season in front of goal. Reaching a goal tally of 20 with three games left to play, our number 23’s strikes have been as impressive as they have been timely.
She opened her account in our season opener against Rangers in the UEFA Women's Champions League qualifiers and has already become the highest-scoring English player ever in a single UWCL campaign.
In December, she scooped both the WSL Player and Goal of the Month awards and has already been named the Arsenal Player of the Month three times. Our number 23 currently leads the WSL Golden Boot standings going into the final weekend with 12 goals and 2 assists.
