Arsenal winger Katie McCabe signs new contract after mounting transfer interest

Arsenal winger Katie McCabe has signed a new contract with the club.

The Republic of Ireland captain was a transfer target for Chelsea in January, with the Gunners swiftly rejecting an approach from their London rivals.

McCabe has also been attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but has now agreed fresh terms with Arsenal.

The 28-year-old has been at the club since 2015 and made 193 appearances across all competitions so far, scoring 31 goals.

“Arsenal is home for me and I’m excited to have committed my future to this football club,” said McCabe.

“I’ve grown up here as a player and a person and developed a really special bond with our supporters, which means a lot to me.

“Over the years, I’ve experienced some amazing moments here – but I believe that the best is yet to come and I know the aim here at Arsenal is to compete for the highest honours.”
