After putting pen to paper on a new deal at the club, Lia Walti credited our supporters and the opportunity to regularly play in front of huge crowds as factors in her decision to remain in north London.

The Swiss midfielder has extended her stay with us having first arrived in 2018, and during that time she has witnessed the growth of the women’s game grow exponentially, especially over the past couple of seasons.

That has been no more evident than at Emirates Stadium this season, with large attendances recorded for our Women’s Super League games and culminating in a domestic record 60,063 supporters watching our Champions League semi-final with Wolfsburg earlier this month.
