The Dutchwoman has overseen 10 wins from 11 unbeaten matches since stepping into the role after Eidevall’s resignation on 15 October. According to multiple sources, Arsenal could conclude their recruitment process before their next Women’s Super League fixture, at home to Crystal Palace, a week on Sunday.
