After signing her new contract with The Gunners, Blackstenius said “I’m so happy to have signed a new contract here at Arsenal. In the space of two-and-a-half years, this club has come to feel like home; that’s thanks to my teammates and the staff of course, but most of all because of our wonderful supporters.

“There is such a special atmosphere around this club and we are all hungry to achieve more together. Your support means the world to me and I can’t wait to get back here to go again next season.”

Blackstenius will now look towards a busy summer on the international stage with Sweden as they aim to qualify for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025.
