England skipper Leah Williamson has revealed how she received tough love from former Arsenal teammate and BBC pundit Alex Scott when coming through the ranks as a young pro.
WIlliamson, 25, led the Lionesses to European Championship glory in the summer and recently made a successful return to the Arsenal defence after a month out with a foot injury. The Gunners won 4-1 at Aston Villa last weekend to stay firmly amongst the leading contenders for the WSL title, three points behind Chelsea with a game in hand.
This week, the England captain reflected on her career journey so far in an interview with Sky Sports' Inside the WSL programme. When talking about her early years at the Gunners, Williamson spoke of how senior pros in the side helped her development.
