Lindsey Heaps, a midfielder for Lyon, expressed excitement about her USWNT teammates Emily Fox and Jenna Nighswonger transitioning to play in Europe. This upcoming Champions League semifinal against Arsenal marks a unique occasion for Heaps as she faces them for the first time in European competition. Heaps has praised the challenges and advantages of European football as motivating factors for American players to join clubs like Arsenal. She acknowledged the significance of this moment for her and her teammates, highlighting their mutual respect and camaraderie.
It's really cool to see her [Fox] thriving in that environment and a team that, again, like I said before, I love the way Arsenal play. I really respect the team in general and to see her go and make that big move and play well and be a very impactful player for the team as well.
[It's] so exciting and also very special for me. These moments don't happen a lot. I think this past camp I was giving Foxy [Emily Fox] as much crap as I possibly could and trying to just chip at her a little bit.
