Emily Fox plays a specialised role at Arsenal. On paper she is part of the team's defensive unit, but more often than not her greatest contribution is to the attacking phase of games. She operates more like a winger.
Usually the measure of success of any forward-thinking player is by goals and assists. Fox is yet to register in either category. But her importance to Arsenal's setup has never been more keenly felt.
When signing for the Gunners in January 2024, then-manager Jonas Eidevall made a point of highlighting her "strength in both phases". He was right to. Fox is perhaps the most complete full-back operating in the league currently.
