**London, England** – Arsenal Women are gearing up for a dangerous season, particularly in attack, with star striker Alessia Russo poised to unleash her scoring prowess. The English international has already bagged 10 goals in her last 10 appearances for the Gunners, including friendlies.

After a slightly slower start to her Arsenal career, Russo found her footing last season, scoring 14 goals. This season, manager Jonas Eidevall has declared her his number one striker, hinting at a starting role in most games.

“I think this season will be a whole different story,” said a Just Arsenal writer. “She’s capable of scoring 20+ goals.”

The arrival of Spanish midfielder Mariona Caldentey has added another dimension to Arsenal’s attack, and the pair have already shown a strong connection in pre-season and Champions League matches.

The Just Arsenal writer highlighted Russo’s versatility, suggesting that her ability to link up play and operate in a deeper position, potentially as a false nine, could be a valuable asset.

“She’s always been seen as an up top number 9 striker, but I’ve always liked to see her in a bit of a deeper position,” the writer said.

With her talent and Eidevall’s trust, Russo is primed to be a key contributor to Arsenal’s success this season.

“She was brought in to score goals and make us more dangerous in attack,” the writer said. “She’s going to be a goal machine.”
