- I received an offer that I could not refuse, Maanum told SVT Sport just over a month ago.

Maanum was in her fifth season with Linköping, which she chose not to complete.

And there was long speculation about which top club in England she would join.

Now it is clear that the offer came from the big club. 

But she is not the only one who will join Arsenal from the damallsvenskan.

It is already clear that Rosengård coach Jonas Eidevall will take over as head coach for the team.

"It's going to be incredibly cool"

When SVT Sport spoke with Frida Maanum at the end of June, the former team captain said that it is a big step but that a lot is about taking the chance when you are ready.

- They have a good development in the league and that is something I want to be part of.

It feels like a league where I can develop with many good players, she said then.

- It's incredibly cool.
