KATIE MCCABE reckons Arsenal’s quality can help them in their battle for trophies with the Gunners targeting their first silverware win since 2019.
And the midfield ace is expecting big things from the club who face Tottenham in a pre-season clash before a Champions League qualifier against Kazakhstan side Okzhetpes
Katie McCabe believes Arsenal Women has enough quality in their squad to win silverware this seasonCredit
The Republic of Ireland international, 25, was speaking to Arsenal’s web site following the team’s 2-1 pre-season win against Chelsea at the Emirates.
Goals from the midfielder and rising starlet Freya Jupp, 17, were enough to seal the victory with 16-year-old Reanna Blades netting a solitary effort for the Blues.
The Gunners’ last major trophy was back in the 2018-19 season with the club clinching their third Women’s Super League title.
McCabe, who joined Arsenal from Shelbourne in 2015, said: “Last year we didn’t compete for any trophies.
However the manager is expected to join his players this week ahead of their trip to Spurs and their clash with Okzhetpes at the Sapsan Arena in Russia.
McCabe added: “He was giving us his team talk via Zoom, so that’s a first but it’s COVID times so what’s new?
“He’s been great and the staff have been really supportive in making things as easy as possible for us players.”
