Anna Margaretha Marina Astrid "Vivianne" Miedema RON (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑnaː mɑrɣaːˈreːtaː maːˈrinaː ˈʔɑstrɪt fiviˈjɑnə ˈmidəmaː];[4] born 15 July 1996) is a Dutch professional football forward who plays for English WSL club Arsenal and the Netherlands women's national football team.[5][6]

Club career

Miedema signed for SC Heerenveen at 14 and made her senior debut at 15, reportedly becoming the youngest ever player in the Eredivisie Vrouwen.[7] Her 39 goals for Heerenveen in the 2013–14 BeNe League won her the top-scorer award.[8]

Miedema signed a contract with Bayern Munich in June 2014.[9] In 2014–15, she was part of a young Bayern team who remained unbeaten in the Bundesliga and won the title for the first time since 1976.[10]

In May 2017, Miedema went on to sign and thus link up with English club Arsenal.[6]. On 29 October, Vivianne scored her first goal in England for Arsenal in the match with Everton on 23rd minute.

International career

On 26 September 2013 coach Roger Reijners gave Miedema her debut for the senior Netherlands women's national football team, in a 4–0 win against Albania.[2] At the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, she was vital for the Dutch success, her six goals in the tournament guided the Netherlands to the title.[11] She was the tournament top scorer and also collected the Golden Player awarded to the best player of the tournament.[12]

In October 2014 Miedema played a key role in the Netherlands' World Cup qualification play-off victory over Scotland. In the first leg at Tynecastle Stadium she stung the palms of Gemma Fay with a rasping drive which was prodded home by Lieke Martens. Then she casually shrugged off burly centre-half Jennifer Beattie only to be crudely upended by Frankie Brown inside the box. Manon Melis dispatched the resultant penalty to leave the Dutch firmly in the driving seat ahead of the second leg in Rotterdam.[13]

In the final qualification play-off versus Italy, Miedema scored all of the Dutch goals as the Netherlands won 3–2 on aggregate and advanced to the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[1] She finished as the overall top-scorer in the qualification campaign with 16 goals.[11] Coach Reijners praised Miedema's "killer instinct".[7] Despite being still in her teens, she was widely proclaimed "the most gifted striker in Europe" ahead of the Netherlands' first ever FIFA Women's World Cup appearance.[14]

She at the 2017 UEFA Women's European Championship went on to prove her worth when it mattered the most, scoring a winning goal in the semi-final against England. Miedema also netted two goals in the final against Denmark of which was enough to secure the first ever Euro title for the Dutch.[15] After the tournament the whole team was honoured by the Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister of Sport Edith Schippers and made Knights of the Order of Orange-Nassau.[16]
