Vivianne Miedema: Arsenal Women’s complete striker

Vivianne Miedema has taken the FA Women’s Super League by storm. The previous highest number of goals scored in a single season of the FAWSL was Ellen White’s 11 goals for Birmingham City last season. However, with seven FAWSL games still to go, Vivianne Miedema has already broken the record and has set a new one: she’s become the first striker to score more than 20 league goals.

Miedema came to Arsenal at the beginning of the 2017/18 season from Bayern Munich. At that time she was one of the hottest young talents in the world. With Bayern, she’d won the Bundesliga twice in three seasons (being the runners up once). She’s also a regular with the Netherlands senior team, having earned 51 caps.
