Arsenal have confirmed that Gio Queiroz has been signed from Barcelona by Arsenal on a permanent contract. However, the winger will join Everton as a loan player for the 2022/23 season.
The Brazil international who scored 11 goals in 31 games during her loan spell at Levante last year made her debut at Madrid CFF when she was just 15 years old.
Queiroz also was part of the Brazil team which won the 2022 Copa America title.
Speaking about her move to Arsenal, she said: “I’m very excited. I know Arsenal is a great club – it’s one of the best clubs in Europe.
“All of the players here are very competitive and have a lot of experience, so I’m excited to learn from them and develop. Arsenal is a club that belongs at the top and with hard work we can make sure we are there.”
On her move to Everton, Queiroz added: “I’m really proud to be joining Everton for the season. I have met the squad and it’s a great group in an amazing environment.
“This is going to be a year of development, to improve myself and get to know the league.
“I’m young but I’ve got a lot of experience. Any challenge that I’m faced with is great as it just makes me a better player. I’m excited to learn and see what I can do.
“To all the Everton fans, I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon!”
