After Aston Villa finished ninth in the English Women's League last season, the club's management decided to revamp the team by attracting new Scandinavian talents. Players from Scandinavia have a good reputation in this league, as transfers from this region to England are common. But what draws attention is that Aston Villa signed four Scandinavian players this summer, three of them from Norway and one from Denmark, as part of eight new contracts.

Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark now occupy an important position in the league, as there are 42 players from these countries distributed among 14 clubs, and Aston Villa now has the fourth largest number of these players after Tottenham (10), Manchester United (7) and Liverpool (6). The club's management, led by coach Natalie Arroyo, headed to Scandinavia to fill the gaps created by the departure of some veteran players, such as Kirsty Hanson to Tottenham and Ebony Salmen to West Ham.

Among the new arrivals are three Norwegian internationals, defender Mathilde Harviken and midfielders Kamilla Milgaard and Justine Kjelland. They were also joined by Danish striker Amalie Vansgaard, who came from Juventus. Kjelland hopes the players' pre-existing relationships will help them achieve quick results at Villa Park.

“I knew Mathilde from the national team, we're good friends, so we talked about joining the team,” she says. “It's great that we have a lot of Norwegians and Scandinavians, we speak the same language. But we're all independent, striving to achieve what's best for our careers, so our decision to join this club is a good sign that it's an attractive place.”

Aston Villa is not one of the established clubs in the league, but it seeks to be one of the big clubs in the tournament after seven years of being in the first division. With its investment in new players, the club is striving to enter the top four. Arroyo hopes the renovations will be effective and produce positive results after a disappointing season. To achieve success, the experience of players with tournament experience will play a major role, such as defender Anna Patten, midfielder Missy Bo Cairns and striker Rachel Daly, who help guide the new players.

Aston Villa aims to achieve new achievements, as its players look to qualify for European competitions. “There's nothing to be afraid of trying to get into those European places,” says goalkeeper Emily Ramsay. "If we play with confidence, I see no reason why we can't reach the top."

ماذا بعد

من المتوقع أن تسهم العلاقات المسبقة بين اللاعبات الإسكندنافيات في تسريع عملية الانسجام داخل الفريق. سيعمل المدرب ناتالي أرويو على دمج هؤلاء الوافدين الجدد في التشكيلة الأساسية، مما قد يساعد أستون فيلا في تحقيق نتائج أفضل في المباريات القادمة. يتطلع النادي إلى تحسين مركزه في الدوري الإنجليزي للسيدات والعودة إلى المنافسة على المراكز المتقدمة.
