The Women’s Super League’s all-time top scorer Vivianne Miedema will leave Arsenal at the end of the 2023-24 season.
The 27-year-old is a two-time WSL Golden Boot winner and has scored 79 league goals across seven seasons at the club.
Miedema’s Arsenal future had been the source of speculation before she signed a new deal in May 2022 but she will now exit the club at the end of the campaign following the expiration of her contract.
Arsenal sporting director Edu said: “On behalf of everyone at the club, we thank Viv for her huge contribution towards the success of the team during her seven years with us. Viv’s goals and overall performances as an Arsenal player have been of the highest quality, and she has created so many wonderful memories for us over the years. We wish Viv and her family the best of health and happiness for the future.”
Miedema joined Arsenal from Bayern Munich in 2017 and has provided 125 goals and 50 assists in her 172 appearances for the club.
She finished as the WSL’s top scorer during the 2018-19 season as Arsenal won the league title for the first time in seven years. The Netherlands forward won a second successive Golden Boot in the 2019-20 season, and also helped secure three Continental Cup successes during her time at the club.
