The Arsenal Football Club has made a significant addition to its midfield with the signing of Géraldine Reuteler on a permanent deal. This move marks a new chapter for the Swiss international, who brings a wealth of experience and talent to the club. With a strong background in both club and international football, Reuteler is set to make an impact in the Women's Super League (WSL).
Reuteler, born in April 1999, started her football journey with FC Stans in Switzerland before joining FC Luzern in 2008. Her talent was evident early on, as she made her senior debut at just 15 years old, becoming a regular fixture in the Swiss top-flight. The young midfielder's potential was further recognized when she made the switch to Germany and Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2018. Over the next eight years, she developed into one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga, known for her dynamic and athletic style of play.
In her time at Frankfurt, Reuteler made 184 appearances in all competitions, scoring 54 goals and providing 44 assists. Her performances were instrumental in Frankfurt's success, and she left the club as a key player. On the international stage, Reuteler made her senior Switzerland debut in 2017 and has since become a regular member of the national team. She has represented Switzerland in the last three Women's European Championships, helping the team reach the quarter-finals for the first time on home soil in 2025. Her contributions have been recognized with the Swiss Women's Player of the Year award in 2024.
The Arsenal management is thrilled to have secured Reuteler's services. Director of Women's Football, Clare Wheatley, expressed her excitement, highlighting Reuteler's long-term target status for the club and her strong background in both club and international football. Head Coach Renée Slegers also praised Reuteler's technical skills, intelligence, and athleticism, describing her as a great addition to the midfield group.
Reuteler herself is eager to begin her Arsenal career, stating, 'Arsenal is one of the best clubs in the world, and I'm so proud to be here. I love the way this team plays, and I can't wait to test myself against the best players in the WSL. I want to add to the history and success of this football club, and I'm looking forward to walking out at the Emirates in front of our supporters.'
As a symbol of her new chapter, Reuteler will wear the number 14 jersey. Fans can get their hands on her shirt from Arsenal Direct (https://arsenaldirect.arsenal.com/shopbyplayer/GERALDINE-REUTELER). The Arsenal Football Club is confident that Reuteler's addition will strengthen the team and contribute to the club's continued success in the WSL.
This move is a testament to Arsenal's commitment to building a competitive and talented squad. With Reuteler's arrival, the club continues to strengthen its position as a top contender in women's football, both domestically and internationally.
