The all-time WSL leading assist provider (54) leaves Arsenal after almost a decade, having scored 54 goals and recording 50 assists in 167 league appearances. Since her Gunners debut in May 2017, the Lioness has the most assists (50), the most chances created (352) and fourth most open play crosses (347) in the WSL.

Among those to play 1,000+ minutes in the division last season, Mead ranked fifth for passes played into the penalty area per 90 minutes (8.2 – including crosses) which will likely prove to be a huge asset for Manchester City.

Joining the dangerous duo of Vivianne Miedema and Khadija Shaw, it means Man City now have three of the six players to rack up a century of goal involvements in the WSL among their ranks.

In fact, during their time together in north London, Mead and Miedema combined for more goals than any other teammates have in WSL history (23).

“I mean, I love a good coffee, been to a few places around, where have I been? JBF, is it just between friends? thats always nice. We're going actually out as a team this weekend, so maybe that'll be somewhere. Maybe I won't tell you where we're going in case you show up, you're uninvited, yay!

But yeah, I've got a lot of exploring to do, Myle helps out, I've been walking around a lot with my dog, so figuring out some new places to go.”

“Obviously I was at arsenal a long time, I was there for 10 years I knew people for a long time and they obviously felt like family to me, family away from family. I think the family feel I felt straight away, I felt coming in at city, and how nice it was with the players and staff to make you feel at home.

Like me and Niamh came in and it was like first day of school and where we like sit in the meeting room, and I feel like—the family feel and the culture around the team—it’s easy to say it when you’re winning games and you’ve won the league and an FA cup but to actually see it firsthand, and to feel that as well very early on is, yeah special—so yeah it’s been a very nice transition so far.”

‘We’re all obviously very excited to see you on the pitch, but who are you most excited to link up with, playing with here at the team?’

“I mean I love playing with all of the girls but there’s a couple of players obviously I haven’t had the chance to play with yet, you know Yui Hasegawa—very clever player, so I’m looking forward to playing with her. I wouldn’t mind playing with Bunny, getting on the end of some of my crosses, that’d be nice too. Oh and Hempo at the backpost too”
