Backstory

You are called Sophie and you are 18 years old and still playing at your local team when you get offers at the end of your contract from multiple WSL Clubs . In the past season you scored 30 goals with getting 15 assists too.

Part one

You and your agent are having a meeting in a coffee shop about your next move . Emma has been your agent for a while .

E: Let's talk about the teams that want you . There is interest from Bristol City, Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Arsenal .

S: wow that's a lot of teams to pick from.

E: Yeah but it proves that you have been doing well with a lot of teams showing interest. What are your initial thoughts ?

S: I am surprised that many teams want me if I'm being honest . Arsenal would be a dream club to go to but any team in the WSL would be good.

E: I can speak with arsenal and get that sorted if you want me too ?

S: Yes please I think that's my final decision

A few hours later you get a call from Emma ...

E: Hi Sophie , I just wanted to let you know that arsenal are very happy that you have picked them and we will be going there tomorrow morning to get everything completed. I will pick you up at 9am from your apartment.

S: Okay that's great news Emma , thank you and see you at 9am tomorrow.

It's 9am the next day and Emma has picked you up and you are now on your way to arsenal training ground to meet Jonas to get everything completed.
