Ian Wright blasts Beth Mead sponsor after England Euro 2022 success and company respond | Football | Sport
Her boss at Arsenal, Jonas Eidevall, tweeted his support for the 27-year-old after posting a screenshot on Twitter appearing to show that he was going to purchase a pack of the £14 case of beer.
Mead, who plays her club football for WSL outfit Arsenal, reportedly earns just £25,000 a year with the north London club and tops up her income thanks to her sponsorship deal with Nike.
However, she pocketed a well-deserved bonus of £55k as part of the payment handed out by the FA to England’s heroes, giving the Lionesses are well deserved boost to their bank accounts after ending the nation’s 56-year wait for an international trophy.
