Ona Batlle is close to joining Arsenal W.F.C. on a free transfer this summer as her Barcelona contract nears its end.
The Spain defender has been a priority target for Arsenal as they look to strengthen their squad and plan early for upcoming transfer windows.
Batlle, widely regarded as one of the best full-backs in women’s football, previously played in the WSL with Manchester United and is keen on a return to England.
Arsenal are also expected to complete several other high-profile signings as part of their summer rebuild.
