Overview
- Baum is expected to make her senior Germany debut in the friendly against Australia in Karlsruhe on Friday.
- She joined FC Arsenal from RB Leipzig in summer 2026 for a reported €600,000 fee that briefly set a German women’s transfer record before Carlotta Wamser’s higher move.
- At Arsenal Baum has started all five league matches and scored two goals while winning a regular place among stars such as Mariona Caldentey, Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway.
- Arsenal’s team has struggled overall, with just one win in five league games, and coach Renée Slegers is under pressure despite Baum’s breakthrough.
- Born in Dar es Salaam and developed through Schleswig-Holstein clubs and HSV’s youth system, Baum wears a wrist tape in memory of her late brother and has publicly stated ambitions that include the Ballon d’Or and a place at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
