My Take

Alessia Russo is exactly the kind of athlete I love to follow. Born in Maidstone in 1999, she had the nerve to study and play at North Carolina before returning home to make her name, a path that says a lot about her ambition and self-belief. Now a forward for Arsenal and England, and the reigning FWA Women's Footballer of the Year for 2024-25, she's at the peak of a sport that's finally getting its due. There's a fearlessness in her game that feels generational. I think she's one of the faces women's football deserves right now.
