The USWNT defender Emily Fox has signed for Arsenal from National Women’s Soccer League’s North Carolina Courage. Fox has gained 39 caps for her country after making her debut in 2018 and has won the Concacaf Women’s Championship and SheBelieves Cup with the national team. She was also a part of the 2023 Women’s World Cup squad, who were knocked out by Sweden in the last 16.

“It feels amazing to have signed here,” she said. “When I think of Arsenal, I think of excellence, I think of a global organisation, I think of family. I think of pushing the standards of football and especially in the women’s game. It’s a huge honour to get the opportunity to represent this club and I’m excited to get started and play in front of our supporters.”
