Olivia Smith is set to become the first player in the women's game to command a transfer fee of £1 million as Arsenal seek to secure her signature from Liverpool, a source has told ESPN.

Arsenal are set to break the world record fee for a women's player with the signing of Liverpool's Olivia Smith, according to reports. Smith, 20, joined the Reds from Portuguese side Sporting last summer for a club-record fee and was Liverpool's standout player in the 2024/25 campaign.
