Vivienne Lia leaves the club

Vivienne Lia has left Arsenal to join Eintracht Frankfurt on a permanent transfer.

The 19-year-old winger joined our academy aged 14 in 2021, working her way up through the age groups before making her first-team debut in our League Cup quarter-final victory over London City Lionesses in February 2024.

After signing her first professional contract with us in January 2025, Viv spent the first half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Nottingham Forest, making 12 appearances for the Barclays Women’s Super League 2 side. Viv then spent the rest of the campaign in Sweden with Hammarby, making 12 appearances and scoring one goal.

Viv departs Arsenal with two senior appearances to her name.

Everyone at the club would like to thank Viv for her contribution and we wish her the best of luck in her next chapter.
