Beth Mead

England forward Beth continued to be a key player in the Gunners’ forward ranks last term, contributing seven goals and three assists in 21 WSL appearances on her way to ten goals in all competitions – several of them spectacular efforts that displayed her full range of technical skills. Although 14 of her 36 appearances came from the bench, the gifted winger was liable to make an impact at any point, as she proved by providing the clever assist for Stina Blackstenius to net the winner in the UEFA Champions League final. 

The season was another step on her road to recovery from the ACL injury she suffered in November 2022, which came just months after Beth had won both the Golden Boot and Player of the Tournament awards at Euro 2022. 

She joined the Gunners in January 2017 from Sunderland, where she scored 77 goals in 78 games and won the WSL Golden Boot in 2015, and has since starred as a winger, topping the assists chart in our 2018/19 title-winning campaign and registering a WSL record 45 up to the end of 2024/25. 

An England international since 2018, she was part of the Lionesses squad at Euro 2025.
