Alessia Russo, the Arsenal and England forward, has been awarded the Football Writers' Association Women's Footballer of the Year. With 12 goals and two assists in 20 Women's Super League games, she leads the Golden Boot race. Russo's contributions have been pivotal in Arsenal's journey to the Champions League final, with seven goals in the competition. Despite competition from last year's winner Khadija Shaw and teammate Mariona Caldentey, Russo's stellar season has solidified her status as one of the top players, also earning her a nomination for WSL Player of the Season.
Russo has been instrumental in Arsenal's push for European success this season, helping the club reach their first Champions League final in 18 years.
Last year's winner, Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw, tied on goals with Russo despite playing just 14 matches, finished second in this year's vote.
