Lotte Wubben-Moy signs new Arsenal contract

Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy has extended her contract with the club until 2028. The 26-year-old, who has made 143 appearances for Arsenal having come through the club’s academy, won the club’s player of the season award in 2023-24.

This was during a time when current Head Coach Renee Slegers was the personal development coach and worked closely with Lotte during that season. Wubben-Moy’s leadership and professionalism are also seen as integral and she will form part of the leadership group.

Our understanding is that there was interest from the NWSL and Europe, with Bayern Munich holding a long term interest with the player, but Wubben-Moy wants to win with Arsenal. She is also in contention to return from injury on Sunday. She led her announcement video as creative director and wrote the script for it too.

Childhood Arsenal fan and Stoke Newington native Wubben-Moy told Arsenal.com, ‘I feel a huge amount of pride, excitement and optimism to once again put pen to paper at this special football club. Arsenal is the club I want to win with and I feel this new contract comes at a time in my career where my ambitions are matched by my abilities on the pitch. I’m determined to make this next chapter count.’

Head Coach Renée Slegers added: ‘We’re so happy that Lotte has signed a new contract. Lotte is a top defender who has shown significant progression in recent years, and will continue to play an important role as we pursue our shared goal of competing for the highest honours in the game.’

Director of Women’s Football Clare Wheatley said: ‘We’re very proud of Lotte’s journey from our academy to our first team, through to this new contract here with us. Lotte is a wonderful role model for all young players – an example of how hard work, strong values and determination are the platform for success. We know that she will continue to give all of herself to Arsenal Football Club, both on pitch and of course in her consistent support of our wider community.’
