'The players are really buying into this project'

Jordan Nobbs is the latest player to commit her future to this club since Joe Montemurro joined in November.

The England midfielder has been an integral part of our side and followed in Leah Williamson and Emma Mitchell’s footsteps by signing a new long-term deal on Wednesday.

 

The future is looking bright for Arsenal Women, and Nobbs credits that with the impact Montemurro’s had in his six months in charge.

 

“Since Joe has come in, he’s just been phenomenal,” Nobbs told Arsenal Player. “He’s changed our team, he’s changed our dynamics and he’s just put the simple fundamentals in place to just allow us to be free on the pitch. I think that’s shown all over.

 

“Our recent results have shown us on a good winning streak. We still know that we need to be better and I still want to win more trophies here, so we know we all need to dig a little bit harder.

 

“Right now, to be an Arsenal fan, I think we’re definitely in a great place and the fact that we’re keeping players on board shows how much they’re enjoying being at this club and working alongside Joe.

 

“There’s everything you could wish for at this club. The facilities are phenomenal and we get treated like professional footballers. That’s how we want it to be and hopefully anyone who comes to this club doesn’t want to leave because they’ve got everything that they can wish for.

 

“Not only that, you get to wear the Arsenal badge and there’s no greater feeling than putting on an Arsenal shirt and walking out for one of the best teams in the world.”
