Former England forward Jodie Taylor will make a surprise return to Arsenal on a free transfer after ending her spell in North America.
The 36-year-old striker previously played for the Gunners between 2016-17, scoring 10 goals, and has re-signed a short-term deal until the end of the season. Taylor, who has won 41 caps for the Lionesses scoring 15 goals, was out-of-contract after not re-signing with an American-based franchise for the 2023 NWSL season, having last turned out for San Diego Wave last year, scoring one goal in nine appearances.
She first burst onto the scene over a decade ago at Birmingham City, winning the 2012 FA Cup final against Chelsea and scoring in the shoot-out, before moving on to Arsenal after spells in Australia and the USA. The forward then became England's first-choice forward at Euro 2017, winning the golden boot with five goals, as the Lionesses made it to the semi-finals before they were beaten 3-0 by Sarina Wiegman's Netherlands.
