Olivia Smith will wear the No 11 shirt for Arsenal Women in 2026-27 after switching from the No 15 she had worn since her arrival in north London from Liverpool as the first £1m player in the women’s game on a four-year contract.
Spotted: Olivia's new #11 👀[image or embed]— Arsenal {bot} (@arsenalbot.bsky.social) 28 August 2026 at 16:04Smith’s change follows another significant individual achievement.
She retained the PFA Women’s Young Player of the Year award, becoming the recipient for a second consecutive season. Given her age, she could also win it next year to complete a hattrick.
The No 11 shirt had previously been worn by Katie McCabe, who has since joined Chelsea.
