England Lioness Alessia Russo has been nominated for the freedom of her hometown of Maidstone.

Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall has revealed the "unique thing" that drew him towards England star Alessia Russo, who joined the Gunners this summer. Russo signed for Arsenal after her contract with Manchester United expired earlier this year , with the London club having tried to sign her in the January transfer window for a world record fee. Eidevall has now revealed exactly what it is that made him and the Gunners so desperate to secure the England striker's signature. She's an excellent finisher, both with her head and with her feet.

England forward joins on free transfer after Manchester United rejected a world-record bid and she will add creativity and goals. The year-old had interest from clubs at home and abroad but a move to north London always looked most likely. It is the culmination of months of speculation. It was rejected by United who were in a title race and attempting to secure Champions League football for the first time. She will reportedly become one of the highest-paid players in the WSL.
