Arsenal and England star Beth Mead is one of three finalists for the Best Fifa Women's Player for 2022 award, as voted for by national team coaches, their captains, journalists and fans.
The accolade recognises the most outstanding performers in the women’s game from the period from 7 August 2021 to 31 July 2022 and the striker is up against the USA and San Diego Wave’s Alex Morgan, as well as Spain and Barcelona’s Alexia Putellas.
As her legions of fans celebrate the accolade of her being named as a finalist, former coach Andy Cook told football.london how he impacted Mead's youth development at Middlesbrough, especially regarding her finishing. "I worked with Beth for three-four years before she moved to Sunderland and she always stood out," he said.
