Jordan Nobbs has signed for Villa on an 18-month deal after 12 and a half years with the club.
She has an option in her contract to extend her stay with the club.
Nobbs won five Women's League Cups, four Women's FA Cup, and three WSL titles during her time at the club. At the end of the current season, her contract was due to expire.
The manager said that Jordan is one of the country's most decorated football players.
She is a winner and will bring a lot of experience to the team.
We hope that this move will help the football club as well as cement her place in the international set-up.
In August 2010 Nobbs joined the club and went on to become a legend. She will look to get her place in England's World Cup squad at Villa after struggling for game-time since her head coach arrived.
"That's my bestie, Jordan Nobbs, no one will ever be as great as you here, you've done so much for this club, this team and most of all me," Beth said in a message. I'm going to miss you so much, but I'm pretty sure you'll destroy it at Villa. You are fortunate to have them. I love you my friend.
The sporting director said that Jordan has been a wonderful servant to the club.
She forged a deep connection with our loyal supporters and wrote her name into the history books. We wish Jordan health, happiness and success on and off the pitch in the future, she is a member of theArsenal family for life
Jordan has been with the football club for over a decade and her contribution and achievements are obvious to see. She embodies what it means to be a Gunner and will go down in history as one of the best.
We look forward to welcoming her back here whenever she pleases, and we wish her all the best in this next chapter.
The domestic record fee for a British player in the women's game was paid by Spurs to sign England.
The deal is worth a reported £250,000 and breaks the current record which was set by Lauren James.
England will wear the number 19 shirt for the next three years.
After seven years at the club, the 28-year-old leaves after winning nine major trophies.
With four teams still in the race to win the title, and plenty of drama at the bottom of the table, this month's transfer saga will be a compelling one.
The January window is moving away from England.
After a busy summer filled with new signings, it's still not clear if they'll make any acquisitions of their own.
There are two attacking replacements who are out with long term injuries.
Manchester United are more busy than their neighbours, with all of their attention focused on the winter transfer window.
Manchester City don't want to make any more short term signings. The emphasis seems to be on an internal rebuild after the loss of Georgia Stanway and Lucy Bronze.
The former captain of the club returned to the club on New Year's Day.
This winter, who will be moving? The January transfer window is open from January 1 to January 31 and closes at 5pm on January 31st.
