HERE are plenty of reasons why Leah Williamson is 'hungry' for success when the women's Euros begin in Switzerland.

- By Andy Dunn

Among them is the fact the Lionesses captain was forced to miss World Cup 2023 with a knee ligament injury.

But top of the list is that the defender, 28, wants another taste of the unexpected glory she enjoyed with her club at the end of last season.

Williamson was magnificent in Arsenal’s Champions League final victory over Barcelona last month and that win has made her even more motivated going into the Euros.

“One of the greatest things about being an athlete is when you think you're done, you always have that extra part of yourself that you can tap into,” Williamson said.

“It’s the same with winning. When you’re winning, you want to bathe in that euphoria, but there’s always something else coming.
