Arsenal have signed Switzerland international midfielder Geraldine Reuteler following her departure from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Arsenal Women have announced the signing of Swiss midfielder Geraldine Reuteler on a free transfer. The 26-year-old joins after leaving Eintracht Frankfurt, where she spent the last five seasons. Reuteler is a versatile midfielder known for her technical ability, vision, and work rate. She made over 100 appearances for Frankfurt, scoring 20 goals and providing 15 assists. Her performances in the Frauen-Bundesliga and Champions League caught the attention of Arsenal. Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall said: 'Geraldine is an experienced player who has proven herself in the Bundesliga and Europe. She will add depth to our midfield and we are delighted to welcome her.' Reuteler expressed her excitement: 'Arsenal is one of the biggest women's clubs in Europe. I can't wait to play for this club and give my best for the fans.' The signing is part of Arsenal's summer rebuild after finishing third in the Women's Super League last season. The club aims to challenge for the title and make a deep run in the Champions League. Reuteler will compete with the likes of Kim Little, Lia Wälti, and Frida Maanum for a starting spot. Her arrival adds competition and quality to the midfield. With over 50 caps for Switzerland, Reuteler brings international experience. She played at UEFA Women's Euro 2022 and will be key for Arsenal in European competitions. Arsenal fans have welcomed the signing on social media. The new WSL season starts in September, and Reuteler could make her debut in the opening match.
