Arsenal’s title chase gains German prodigy Lisa Baum from Leipzig

When the club released its statement this morning, Arsenal confirmed the signing of 19‑year‑old German winger Lisa Baum. The youth international arrives from RB Leipzig, where she impressed in the Frauen Bundesliga, bolstering the Gunners' attack ahead of a title push.

Baum joins Arsenal from the German Google Pixel Frauen Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. She spent the previous season with the Red Bulls after joining them last summer, recording six goals in 26 appearances during the 2025/2026 German top‑flight campaign. Before Leipzig, Baum played for Hamburger SV, helping the club secure promotion to the 2. Frauen Bundesliga.
