‘It’s been a massive week for van de Donk’

Danielle van de Donk has had quite the week for the club and country.

On Tuesday night she sealed qualification to the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France - and on Sunday she opened the scoring in our 4-0 win over Everton.

“We’re getting her in positions where she can affect the game,” Joe Montemurro told Arsenal.com.

“She’s very good in build-up play, but she’s also very good in the second phase when we do go forward and she’s very good at getting herself in goalscoring positions.

“She’s a smart player and coupled with all of that, she’s also had the euphoria of qualifying for the World Cup, so it’s been a massive week for her.
