Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy struggled with injury last season, which is why she didn't play a single minute at Euro 2025, even though she was included in the squad. In an interview with the Observer, she opened up about what it's like to want to play even though you know you can't, as well as her family background. Wubben-Moy has been an Arsenal fan since childhood, when her aunt sang North London Forever to her as a lullaby.Â
- Lotte Wubben-Moy grew up an Arsenal fan in East London and later played college soccer in North Carolina alongside teammates Alessia Russo and Emily Fox, deeply influenced by her London upbringing and her parents’ values.
- She strives to give her all on the pitch or in the gym, aiming to set high standards through her work ethic and inspire others, including younger teammates like Michelle Agyemang.
- Wubben-Moy shares a close friendship with Agyemang, recalling late-night piano sessions in Switzerland. She finds solace and identity within the Arsenal community, where she feels truly “at home.”
- She credits her moral compass to her parents: her mum’s warmth and affectionate nature and her dad’s competitive yet selfless approach shaped both her personal character and team spirit.
