"Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers said: "Alessia is a really important part of our group and I'm so pleased that she has signed a new deal here. "As a striker, Alessia's goals often take the spotlight, but she brings so much more to our group. "She's a selfless player, working so hard for the team, and she also contributes so much to our team culture.""
