Maier - It was time for a new chapter

Leonie Maier became our third signing of the summer, when she joined us from Bayern Munich on Friday.

With two Frauen-Bundesliga titles to her name, the Germany international had established herself as a regular for the Bavarian team.

So why did she choose now to leave her homeland for the first time so she could move to north London?

“After six years at Munich, I think it was time for a new chapter,” Maier told Arsenal Player. “It has always been a dream of mine to play abroad and I think that the Women’s Super League has developed in an amazing way for the last few years, so for me it’s a great honour to join Arsenal.
