Slegers confirms conversations on futures of McCabe and Foord

Slegers confirms conversations on futures of McCabe and Foord Arsenal manager Renée Slegers had said that there have been conversations about the futures of Caitlin Foord and Katie McCabe . The Gunners yesterday announced three departures from the squad ahead of what is expected to be a big summer of arrivals in North London with Laia Codina , Victoria Pelova , and club legend Beth Mead all confirmed to depart. "She’s an amazing character, she’s something special on and off the pitch, there’s so many sides to Beth," Slegers said about Mead's legacy at the club ahead of Wednesday evening's home game against Everton.

"There's a lot of joy and happiness for the game. She always brings energy to a team. She brings lightness to the room when it's needed.

She brings honesty when it's needed. There's a lot of intelligence on the pitch, you can see that in the stats, the amazing stats throughout her time at Arsenal. "For me, it's been a privilege to work with Beth.

Every day of it was joyful, even though there's always hard times when you're in a team, when you're working with people, but I have so much respect for Beth and what she's done for the club. " Slegers admitted it would be 'strange' to see Mead wearing another shirt with strong odds that it will be a blue one next season amid rumours over a move to Manchester City. After talking about both Codina and Pelova, Slegers was asked about the futures of Foord and McCabe: "I think it’s similar there, there’s conversation of course between parties in the background which are private.
