Arsenal have had a world-record bid in excess of £1m accepted by Women's Super League rivals Liverpool for forward Olivia Smith. The current world record is the £900,000 Chelsea paid to sign United States defender Naomi Girma from San Diego Wave in January.

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