Arsenal have completed the signing of highly-rated Swedish international Rosa Kafaji on a permanent transfer.
Kafaji joins the club from BK Häcken in Sweden on a long-term contract and will wear the number 16 jersey. Born in Stockholm, the forward began her career at hometown club AIK Football, where she developed through the club’s academy before making her senior debut in 2019 at the age of 15.
The 21-year-old made the switch from AIK Football to BK Häcken in January 2022 and would go on to make 61 appearances and score 28 goals during her time at the club. She was Häcken’s top scorer in the 2023/24 season, scoring 15 goals including four in a thrilling UEFA Women’s Champions League run, which saw Häcken reach the quarter-finals.
