Hurtig, Ilestedt set to leave Arsenal this summer

Sweden internationals Lina Hurtig and Amanda Ilestedt will leave Arsenal at the end of their contracts this summer. Hurtig, 29, joined Arsenal from Juventus in 2022 and scored seven goals in 36 appearances despite injury setbacks and missing much of the 2024-25 season for personal reasons. Ilestedt, 32, who joined in 2023 and was part of Sweden's third-place finish at the 2023 Women's World Cup alongside Hurtig, has made limited appearances due to maternity leave. Both players contributed to Arsenal's League Cup victories in 2023 and 2024 and are expected to feature in the upcoming UEFA Women's Champions League final against Barcelona. Additionally, forward Teyah Goldie, a product of Arsenal's academy, will also depart after spending the season on loan. Arsenal expressed gratitude to Hurtig for her contributions and wished her well for her next career chapter.
