  • LISA EVANS FORWARD Lisa Evans Is a Hugely Talented and Versatile Member of Our Squad
    ARSENAL HOME LEARNING LISA EVANS FORWARD Lisa Evans is a hugely talented and versatile member of our squad. She made 25 appearances in 2018/19 season, scoring twice and making six assists. She started her career at Glasgow City, alongside Emma Mitchell. Lisa had a very successful spell with the club, winning nine trophies in just four seasons before moving on in 2012. Leaving her home country of Scotland, Lisa moved to Germany and spent three successful seasons at Turbine Potsdam. Her next club was Bayern Munich. She joined the Munich side in 2015, winning the Frauen Bundesliga title in 2015/16 season. Like Vivianne Miedema, Viktoria Schnaderbeck and Jill Roord, Lisa then made the switch from Bayern to north London. Lisa signed for Arsenal in the summer of 2017 and hasn’t looked back. Having joined the club as a forward, Lisa was asked to play much of her first season at right back. She is confident and competent in lots of positions which makes her even more valuable to the squad. Her tactical knowledge and positioning help make her one of the squad’s best performers. She constantly keeps her width on the pitch which helps create space in the middle for attacking players. It also gives her time to choose whether to cross the ball or use her pace and dribble at defenders. Born in Perth, Lisa has represented Scotland since her debut against Wales in 2011. At the 2014 Cyprus Women’s Cup Lisa won the golden boot for scoring the most goals in the tournament.
