Josephine Henning's return to the club was well-received by supporters and followers of the women's game alike - but Danielle van de Donk was particularly pleased to see her former team-mate back in Arsenal colours.
The European Championship winner played with Henning in the 2016 season and explained just why she values the Germany international so highly.
"She’s just a die-hard defender," Danielle told Arsenal Player. "She’s like [Sergio] Ramos!
"Viv I know very well because she’s Dutch and Josi Henning I know because I’ve played with her for a season before at Arsenal. I don’t know Jessica really well but I’ve been impressed by everyone to be fair.
"Lisa [Evans] is an amazing winger, she’s got the actions, the skills and a great cross. Vivianne Miedema is there to finish those crosses! She’s an amazing striker and one of the best I’ve ever seen. I don’t know Jessica so well but from what I’ve seen so far I’m really happy with her.
"We definitely want to win prizes and we’ve got our mind set on every single prize we can win. We take one step at a time of course but we just want to win prizes."
