CLINICAL FORWARD
Dutch international Vivianne Miedema became City’s first summer signing ahead of the 2024/25 season when she joined the Club from Arsenal.
The forward arrived at the Joie Stadium with a fearsome goalscoring reputation, boosted by seven incredible seasons at the Gunners.
The Barclays Women’s Super League’s record markswoman, Miedema has also twice won the WSL Golden Boot, been included in the PFA Team of the Year on three separate occasions while also being named PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 2018/19.
It was during that season where she helped Arsenal win the WSL title, setting a record for goals across a single season with 22 in as many matches.
One of the most clinical finishers of her generation, Miedema’s accolades extend to an international setting, with the forward helping the Netherlands to Euro 2017 glory, winning the Silver Boot in the process with four strikes.
She is the highest scoring Dutch player of all time, with 95 strikes in 118 appearances, and was also top scorer at the Tokyo Olympics with ten goals to her name.
But Miedema’s game isn’t just about goals – she was also the first player in WSL history to reach 100 goal involvements, something she achieved with 70 strikes and 30 assists.
Vivianne will wear the number six shirt during her time at the Club.
