Arsenal Women: Jen Beattie signs new contract

We are delighted to announce that Jen Beattie has signed a new contract with Arsenal.




Jen played a key role for us last season, making a significant contribution on and off the pitch as we won the FA Women's Continental Tyres League Cup, reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, and secured qualification for the 2023/24 edition of that competition.


The 32-year-old central defender has served us with distinction over two spells in North London. Jen first joined us in 2009, winning one league title, two FA Cups and two League Cups during this time before departing in 2013. The Scot then returned to Arsenal in 2019, after stints with Montpellier, Manchester City and Melbourne City.


In total, Jen has made 157 appearances for us, scoring 32 goals along the way. Her most recent goal for us came in that UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final against Wolfsburg, played in front of a sell-out Emirates Stadium crowd.


Jen was presented with the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Helen Rollason Award in 2021, for outstanding achievement in the face of adversity, while Jen was also awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List 2023 for services to football and charity. We were all very proud to see Jen receive these accolades.

“I’m so happy to have signed a new contract,” said Jen. “I’m happy here. I love the club. I love the group of people I work with – the players, the staff, everybody behind the team. The way the club has progressed over the last few seasons has been great to see and it was amazing to lift a trophy again last season and achieve that level of success as a team. I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together next year.”


Head Coach Jonas Eidevall added: “Jen is a model professional and I am delighted that she will continue to be part of our squad next season. Her contribution on and off the pitch last year was outstanding – she stepped up time and again when called upon and set an example for others to follow.

Everton confirm Beto signing

  Everton have confirmed the signing of striker Beto from Udinese. The Toffees are paying around £25m for the Portuguese forward who will immediately improve their frontline. And he is seemingly delighted to join the club after Everton reignited previous interest this summer. "It feels good to join Everton," Beto said. "I have always appreciated them as a club. "Everton is a big, big club in the Premier League, well respected and has big history. It was easy to make this move. "When a club like Everton tries to buy you in January and then comes again in the summer, you feel like, 'Okay, they want me for real', so that made the decision easy for me as well. My idol, Samuel Eto’o, played here, too, which makes it even more special."
