Since the age of 11, Alessia Russo has been predicted to be the future star of England by the former country's player, Kelly Smith. Now 13 years later, Russo really made the Lions ofTEN in this prestigious event.

The player, dubbed the 'golden girl' in the Super League, previously confirmed his position in the hearts of his supporters with spectacular heel goals for England in the semifinals of last year's Euro against Sweden.

The goal was later named the best goal of the tournament. At that time, Russo and his friends managed to come out as champions after defeating Germany in the final round match.

Now, a month after his transfer to Arsenal from Manchester United, Alessia, who is known by her family as Lessi, has again proven herself in the body of the England women's national team squad.

Success on the ground earned Russo a lot of commercial cooperation with brands such as Adidas, Gucci, PlayStation and Beats by Dre.

Cooperation makes him estimated to be the first WSL player to generate more than 1 million pounds per year.

Russo is part of the England youth women's national team squad that brought home the bronze medal from the 2018 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup. Previously, she also played at the FIFA U17 World Cup in Jordan in 2016.
