Arsenal announce signing of United States international defender Fox | OneFootball

Arsenal have announced the signing of United States international defender Emily Fox.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the transfer via an official club press release from The Gunners this afternoon.

Fox joins the North Londoners following a spell playing in the American National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) with North Carolina Courage. She made 19 appearances for Courage during the 2023 NWSL season. The player has also represented Racing Louisville in her senior career to date.

On the international stage, Fox has been capped by the United States on 39 occasions while she has scored one goal.

Fox is an experienced player who has plenty of ability to grow. She will be hoping to continue that growth in her first spell playing overseas with Arsenal.

After completing her move to Arsenal, Fox said “It feels amazing to have signed here. 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.”

Fox becomes Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall’s first signing of the January transfer window.
