Arsenal Women have signed Czech international goalkeeper Barbora Votikova on loan from Slavia Prague.
Seven years of her first spell with Slavia Prague yielded four Czech league titles and one Cup, after which she joined PSG and won a French Cup title.
She made 11 appearances for Tottenham before returning to Slavia for a double-winning season.
Internationally, she has made 56 appearances for her country.
Votikova told www.arsenal.com: “Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world, with a special team and special supporters, so it’s a huge honour for me to come here. It’s been a dream of mine to play at Emirates Stadium and I can’t wait to get started.”
Head Coach Renée Slegers said: “We’re delighted to bring in an experienced goalkeeper in Barbora, who will provide additional cover and competition in our goalkeeper unit. Barbora has extensive experience across different leagues in Europe and is familiar with the WSL, so we feel she is an excellent signing to strengthen our squad for the remainder of this season.”
