Sweden's Hurtig to leave Arsenal after three years

Sweden forward Lina Hurtig will leave Arsenal when her contract expires this summer.

The 29-year-old joined the Gunners from Juventus in the summer of 2022.

She has endured a series of injuries during her time at the north London club, and missed much of the 2024-25 season for personal reasons.

Hurtig has made five Women's Super League appearances this season, scoring once, with her other goal for the club this term coming in the win against former club Juve which sealed the Gunners' progression to the knock-out stages.

In total Hurtig has scored seven goals in 36 appearances for Arsenal and was part of the side which won the League Cup in 2023 and 2024.

The forward, who was part of the Sweden side that finished third at the 2023 World Cup, could make her final league appearance for Arsenal against Manchester United on Saturday.

She will also be available for the Women's Champions League final, with Arsenal facing Barcelona on May 24 in Lisbon.

"Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to thank Lina for her contribution to the club, and we wish her well for her next chapter," the Gunners said.
