Arsenal attacking midfielder Frida Maanum has signed a new contract to extend her four-year stay in North London.

The Gunners take on Barcelona on Saturday in the Champions League final, with Maanum having scored 13 times and registering five assists in all competitions this season.

Maanum joined the Gunners in 2021, and marked her 150th appearance with a goal against Manchester United on the final day of the Women’s Super League season.

The Norway international was named the Arsenal Women Supporters Club Player of the Season in 2022/23, before penning a new deal.

25-year-old Maanum has scored 40 goals across four seasons with the Gunners, winning two League Cup titles. 

“I love playing for this club, everything about it- the supporters, the community, playing at Emirates Stadium,” said Maanum after putting pen to paper.

“Seeing how the club has developed over the last few years only makes me more excited to continue my journey here.

“We’ve had such special moments this season and getting to share those with our supporters has been amazing, I’m looking forward to continuing celebrating with them and giving everything for this team.”

Arsenal head coach Renée Slegers said: “I’m delighted that Frida has signed a new contract here with us. She’s such an important player in the group and has made a big contribution to what we’ve achieved as a group during my time as head coach. 

“I know Frida has the ambition and drive to continue striving for improvement as we continue to aim to compete for the highest honours together.”

Director of Women’s Football Clare Wheatley added: “Frida joined us at a young age and has shown great growth and development across her four years with the club. 

“She’s taken the opportunities offered to her here and we’re proud to see her delivering strong performances consistently. Together with our supporters, we’re looking forward to seeing her continued development here at Arsenal.”
