Olivia Smith became the most expensive player in women’s soccer history Thursday when she joined Arsenal from Liverpool for a world record transfer fee of 1 million pounds ($1.34 million).

Arsenal set a new women's world transfer record to sign striker Olivia Smith from Women's Super League rivals Liverpool.

Arsenal’s bid of £1m ($1.36m) exceeds the previous record fee set by Chelsea when they signed USWNT defender Naomi Girma from the San Diego Wave for $1.1m in January.
