Leeds United Women star Amy Woodruff's Twitter exchange with Leah Williamson ahead of cup tie

Leeds United Women's forward Amy Woodruff is relishing the prospect of facing her idol Leah Williamson.

The Whites will travel to the capital to face Arsenal in the FA Women's Cup fourth round on January 29, and Woodruff couldn't resist sending a message Euro 2022 winner Williamson.

In an exchange over Twitter, Woodruff kindly requested Williamson's shirt at the end of the game. And to her delight, Williamson responded: 'Can we swap? See you on the 29th'.

Williamson has enjoyed a decorated career both for club and country. The 25-year-old has played for Arsenal her entire career - lifting five trophies, including the Women's Super League title in 2019.

She has translated that success onto the international stage by winning the SheBelieves Cup and Arnold Clark Cup in 2019 and 2022 respectively, to go alongside her European winners' medal.

Woodruff joined Leeds from Brighouse Town Ladies in March 2022, and has scored three goals during their FA Cup run. The striker netted twice in Leeds' 7-2 victory at Redcar Town in the second round, and added another as they defeated Stoke City 3-1 in the previous round.
