Arsenal have announced their fifth summer transfer as the squad overhaul progresses.
Lisa Baum was confirmed the fifth addition to Arsenal Women’s team during this summer’s transfer window.
The club revealed that Baum joined from RB Leipzig, marking her as the fifth signing for the women’s team this summer.
According to football.london, the young player signed a contract that will keep her in North London until 2029, with an option for an additional year.
The Gunners had been negotiating for her transfer throughout the summer and are thrilled to welcome the promising young winger. At only 19 years old, Baum has already made a significant impact in the Bundesliga.
After joining RB Leipzig in 2025 following a successful period with Hamburger SV, it took just one season for her talent to attract the attention of the double European champions, who have been actively enhancing their squad this summer. Baum is expected to bring considerable quality to the wide positions available to coach Renee Slegers.
“I’m thrilled to join Arsenal, and I am eager to begin,” Baum expressed on Arsenal’s official website. “This league is incredibly competitive, and Arsenal is a prestigious club, so I am looking forward to challenging myself and competing against the best.
Baum joins fellow new signings Ona Batlle, Geraldine Reuteler, Selina Cerci, and Georgia Stanway, who have already made their way to the club.
Clare Wheatley, the Director of Women’s Football, has been very active in the transfer market and is pleased with this latest signing.
“We are excited to finalize the signing of Lisa,” Wheatley stated. “As one of the most highly regarded young wingers in Europe, Lisa has immense potential, and we believe this is the ideal environment for her to grow and excel. We look forward to witnessing her development here at Arsenal.”
