Spanish defender Ona Batlle has completed her move to Arsenal from Barcelona, stepping into the spot vacated by Katie McCabe's departure to Chelsea.
The 27-year-old, who can operate on either flank of the defence, brings a trophy cabinet most players can only dream about - stacked with silverware from her Barcelona years and international duty with Spain.
One thing missing? A Women's Super League title. She'd very much like to fix that.
Batlle missed Arsenal's opening pre-season fixture against Paris FC but could feature in the friendly against Charlton Athletic. Her eagerness to get going is palpable.
She's spoken about Arsenal's style of play being a natural fit for her game, and praised the WSL's intensity and the club's passionate fanbase as key reasons for making the switch, OneFootball reports.
It won't all be unfamiliar faces. Batlle reunites with Spain teammate Misa Rodríguez and former Barcelona colleague Mariona Caldentey. She's also looking forward to linking up again with Alessia Russo, whom she knows from their shared time at Manchester United.
Her exit from Barcelona coincides with wider upheaval at the Catalan club, but Batlle insists the decision was entirely personal - driven by a hunger for fresh challenges in England's top flight.
