Arsenal have confirmed the signing of highly-rated Dutch winger Victoria Pelova from Ajax.
The Gunners' need for January reinforcements became incredibly pertinent after star forwards Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema both suffered anterior cruciate ligament injuries before the winter break. And with midfielder Jordan Nobbs having this week made the switch to fellow Women's Super League side Aston Villa, the need for Jonas Eidevall to boost his attacking ranks seemed increasingly pressing.
Pelova began her professional career at Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag in 2016, before making the switch to Ajax in 2019. Over the course of three and a half seasons in Amsterdam, the 23-year-old made 66 appearances for Ajax and scored 11 goals.
