Renee Slegers, Arsenal women's head coach, has praised forward Olivia Smith's versatility. Smith has adapted to a new central number nine role for the club.
Slegers highlighted Smith's speed, clinical finishing, and strong dribbling ability. She also noted Smith's impressive work rate without possession in the new position.
Smith has played as a central striker in the last two matches due to Stina Blackstenius's injury.
