Arsenal Signs Women’s World Cup and Champions League Winner Ona Batlle

On Friday, Arsenal announced the signing of Barcelona defender Ona Batlle on a free transfer following the expiry of her contract with the Catalan club.
Batlle returns to England after previously playing for Manchester United from 2020 through 2023, having come through Barcelona's academy and made over 100 appearances for the club.
During her final season, Batlle was Barcelona's starting right back in a 4-0 Champions League final victory over Lyonnes in May before departing as part of a broader player exodus.
The move follows two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas joining London City Lionesses on Wednesday, making both stars from Spain's World Cup-winning team recent arrivals in England.
England midfielder Georgia Stanway joined Arsenal from Bayern Munich last week, adding to a growing contingent of former Barcelona players in the Super League alongside Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh at Chelsea.
