Eliza Fletcher never wanted the spotlight. At twenty-four, she's one of the youngest coaches in Arsenal's academy - sharp, ambitious, and determined to prove herself in a world where few women earn respect on the touchline. Her plan was simple: coach, learn, grow. But Eliza isn't like most coaches. She doesn't just talk tactics - she shows them, stepping into training sessions and reminding everyone she once played the game at a level that should never have ended so soon. When Mikel Arteta takes notice, Eliza is invited closer to the men's first team. When Renée Slegers spots her in action, Arsenal Women come calling. Suddenly, Eliza is balancing the academy, first-team training grounds, and whispers that she's "too good to be just a coach." And then, there's her. A senior player who should remain off-limits, yet somehow becomes the one Eliza can't ignore. Their connection is undeniable - but in a world of cameras, contracts, and scrutiny, it might be the most dangerous play of all.
