Renée Slegers targets Women’s Super League title for Arsenal this season
Summary

Arsenal manager Renée Slegers states her squad is focused on winning the Women’s Super League title as the team prepares for its 2026/27 season opener. The Gunners travel to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday at 12pm BST at Broadfield Stadium. Arsenal has not secured a league title since the 2018/19 campaign and has spent the summer strengthening the squad to improve consistency. Slegers believes the current roster is the strongest she has worked with in north London and notes that recent signings, including Elisa De Almeida, add necessary experience and mobility. Despite the team's ambitions, Slegers anticipates a difficult match against a Brighton side that has proven difficult to defeat in previous meetings. The club aims to convert the narrow results and draws that hampered their previous season into consistent victories.
