Congratulations to Maximilian Arnold, who has been voted as Player of the Year by sports journalists in Lower Saxony. The 26-year-old was neck-and-neck with clubmate Lena Goeßling for a long time during the voting, but ended up with 44.83 per cent of the ballot to Goeßling’s 37.93 per cent. Former She-Wolves striker Pernille Harder, now at Chelsea, received the prize in 2020, meaning Arnold is now the ninth VfL player to win it.
