Arsenal Ready to Break World Transfer Record for Olivia Smith

Arsenal is in final negotiations to break the women’s football world transfer record by signing Olivia Smith from Liverpool, according to The Guardian.

The North London club has prepared a £1 million offer for the 20-year-old Canadian international striker — a figure that would surpass the previous record set by Chelsea when signing Naomi Girma earlier this year.

Liverpool had previously rejected offers from several major clubs — including Chelsea and Lyon — before accepting Arsenal’s proposal. Smith, who joined Liverpool last season from Sporting CP, has impressed with nine goals across all competitions.

This transfer would mark Arsenal’s second acquisition from Liverpool in a week, following their successful signing of Taylor Hinds on a free transfer.
