‘I don’t do things half heartedly’ Arseblog Exclusive Interview with Georgia Stanway

When Georgia Stanway signed for Arsenal during the summer, the brief was, on paper at least, significant. Under the stewardship of Renee Slegers, the midfield- arguably the entire team- has been defined by a double pivot of Mariona and Kim Little.

Two players who really ought to have won the Ballon D’Or during their careers. The 30-year-old Spaniard and the 36-year-old Gunners captain formed a highly intuitive and complex partnership in midfield.

After the opening day victory at Brighton, Renee Slegers told Arseblog News that Stanway’s arrival was about, ‘the quality of playing bigger and looking bigger so that brings a different dynamic to our midfield.’ Slegers was referring to Stanway’s penchant for long, diagonal passes and shots from range.
