The post-mortems of the earliest elimination in USWNT history have been ruthless and pointed. But for all the appraisals and politically driven headlines, one player has emerged from the rubble with her stock categorically higher than where it started – Naomi Girma. The 23-year-old San Diego Wave defender was a beacon of unflappable poise in an otherwise chaotic World Cup campaign for the USA. Her exploits have her earned relentless and deserved praise, and now see her linked with a move to Arsenal after Gunners manager Jonas Eidevall commended the player with a veiled hint that a future transfer could be on the cards. Speaking on Speaking on the Men in Blazers podcast, Eidevall said: "She's astonishing, phenomenal… a world class talent." Pressed on whether Girma might be on his club's radar, Eidevall said: 'I can't tell you here on the podcast because I think it would ruin all of Arsenal's scouting secrets.' The Arsenal boss's admiration of Girma is not singular, with former Arsenal striker Ian Wright making his admiration of the American international known on Twitter. 'Naomi Girma fantastic footballer,' the Gunners legend wrote during the USWNT's last-16 encounter with Sweden. Alongside veteran midfielder-cum-centre-back Julie Ertz, Girma played every minute available and habitually cut herself an irreplaceable and robust presence as she denied opposition attacks and offered the facsimile of creativity the American midfield could not. Indeed, that the USA only conceded one goal in their four showings can be drawn directly to Girma's awareness and composure, attributes){kind=link}
