Arsenal have signed Switzerland midfielder Geraldine Reuteler on a four-year contract [1].
The acquisition marks a strategic effort to rebuild the team's midfield. By adding an experienced international player, the club aims to increase its competitiveness in the Women's Super League.
Reuteler arrives at the North London club from Eintracht Frankfurt. She is a 54-goal Swiss midfielder [2] who brings a proven scoring record to the center of the pitch. The move is part of a broader effort to strengthen the squad depth before the start of the new campaign.
"She’s a fantastic player and we're delighted to welcome her to the club," Stanway said.
The midfielder will take the number 14 shirt as she transitions to English football. Her arrival follows a period of evaluation by the coaching staff to identify gaps in the current roster, a process that led to the decision to pursue a free transfer for the Swiss star.
"It’s a great opportunity for me to play in the WSL and I'm excited to join Arsenal," Reuteler said.
The signing is viewed as a key component of the club's long-term vision for the midfield. By securing a four-year deal [1], Arsenal ensures stability in a position that has seen significant turnover in recent seasons.

The signing of Geraldine Reuteler signals Arsenal's intent to transition from a purely possession-based midfield to one with more goal-scoring threat from deep. By securing a player with 54 career goals [2], the club is addressing a specific lack of offensive output from the second line, which is critical for challenging for the Women's Super League title.
