Lionesses record scorer White, 33, who retired after winning the Euros alongside Mead, told BBC Sport: "I think she can go on to score so many goals for England, the sky is the limit for her. "What she's achieved in her career so far, and her development, the way that she's so focused on her performance, and what she's doing at Arsenal, I think it's incredible and it bodes well for the England team." Reflecting on her contribution to the Lionesses' first major trophy win, Mead said: "Playing in your own country in those types of competitions, it's what you dream of. 'To come away and win it was incredible and I think a feeling that will live with us for our lifetimes.' Mead finished as the third-highest scorer in the Women's Super League last season with 11 goals in 22 appearances for title-runners-up Arsenal. The forward's impressive form has carried on into this season, bagging three goals and three assists in six WSL games for the league leaders.
