ARSENAL
The Gunners finished only third last season, but with Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema set to return from injury and some key acquisitions, there are reasons to be optimistic. Swedish defender Amanda Ilestedt has arrived from PSG, while out-of-contract Alessia Russo’s exit from Manchester United prompted reports she’d head to the Emirates after the Gunners had two world-record bids rejected in January. Jonas Eidevall dragged Arsenal through last season’s injury crisis impressively, a first Champions League semi-final since 2013 a sign they’ll be back stronger.
