Alessia Russo: 'You take on a part of Arsenal and the love'

Alessia Russo has described the joy of celebrating Arsenal's double success last season, saying she "had the time of my life" during the open-top bus parade through north London.

According to The Guardian, the forward was seen with arms over the bar, singing and chanting with fans as the team travelled the 9km route through red smoke-filled streets after the men's Premier League and women's Champions Cup triumphs.

Russo, who says joining the club means "you take on a part of Arsenal and the love", believes her own game went up a level last season. Now she wants to push on for more silverware, starting with the Women's Super League.

The England international's comments underline her commitment to Arsenal's cause as the new WSL season approaches, with fans able to relive the celebrations in the highlights on this site.
