Why 'wanted' Stanway wasted no time in getting Arsenal tattoo

Georgia Stanway, the England midfielder who joined Arsenal from Bayern Munich, has already had a visible impact on her body - through additional tattoos. Having previously inked the words "Whatever the weather" on her arm, the 27-year-old has a collection of around 200 tattoos, both external and internal. A proud artist herself, Stanway sees her tattoos as an extension of her skin.

She predicts more customizing to come, as she continues to assert her individuality. Arsenal's signing of Stanway, a free transfer after her successful stint at Bayern, is one of the most high-profile moves of an eye-catching Women's Super League (WSL) transfer window. The midfielder, who has two European Championship winners medals with England, credits her time in the Bundesliga for her personal and professional growth.

Stanway was thrilled to join Arsenal, knowing the club's ambitions and significance within English and European women's football. Despite adjusting to life in London, a new challenge for someone from Barrow-in-Furness, Stanway is excited about the new chapter at Emirates Stadium, aiming to help Arsenal secure their first WSL title since 2018-19.
