Olivia Smith is set to become the first player in the women's game to command a transfer fee of £1 million ($1.4m) as Arsenal seek to secure her signature from Liverpool, a source has told ESPN.

The news was first reported by The Guardian and the move is set to establish Canada international Smith, 20, as the new world record transfer.

Disney+ will be the only place football fans can watch all 75 matches live each season.

It is understood the fee exceeds the previous world record amount which Chelsea set when they signed Naomi Girma for $1.1m.

The deal is subject to personal terms being agreed but Arsenal look to have won the race for the much-admired forward.

Sources have told ESPN that Liverpool had previously rejected offers from Chelsea and Lyon before accepting Arsenal's record bid.

Sources said it is part of Arsenal's aim to strengthen their squad after the Champions League triumph, and also to lower the overall age profile of the squad.

Information from ESPN's Tom Hamilton contributed to this report.
