Mead, 27, who made history by becoming the first woman player to score a hat-trick for England at Wembley, has been on fire for her club in recent months.

And her efforts helped push the Gunners close to winning a fourth WSL title before they finished one point behind champions Chelsea.

Kerr, 28, and Miedema, 25, made the PFA’s shortlist after finishing as the two highest scorers in the league last term.
