Arsenal pay HB Koge club record to sign Marckese

Arsenal paid HB Koge a club record fee to sign goalkeeper Kaylan Marckese with the Danish club delighted with the amount they were able to receive 18 months after signing her.

Speaking to the official HB Koge site, club director Per Rud, expressed his regrets at losing the American, but added, “It is fantastic for us that we have reached a point where we can sell to such a big club as Arsenal.

“It shows that we have done things right.

“We have scouted properly and our coaching staff led by goalkeeper coach Claes De Flon has developed the right things in Kaylan’s game so that she has been able to perform at the international top level – and it is now paying off for both her and ourselves.

“We are extremely proud of the process and the sale.”
