US star Heath hits 'stunner' in Manchester derby

Arsenal have completed the signing of United States forward and two-time World Cup winner Tobin Heath.

The 33-year-old spent last season at Women's Super League side Manchester United.

As Heath was a free agent, Arsenal did not have to complete the move before Thursday's transfer deadline.

She scored four goals in eight WSL appearances last season, before an ankle injury, and won a bronze medal with the US at this summer's Olympics.

Arsenal have not disclosed the length of Heath's contract.

"Tobin's record speaks for itself. She's an incredibly talented player who will bring so much experience to our squad," said Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall.

"This is an exciting time for the club, and I'm delighted we could secure Tobin's signing as we prepare to kick off the new season at Emirates Stadium on Sunday."
