2024

What will happen?

Mary Earp's contract expires in June; there is current speculation on her future: will she extend her contract? Arsenal offered a world record fee in the summer, which was not entertained by Manchester United. PSG has expressed interest in the goalkeeper now that Earps can attend clubs outside the WSL.

Ellie Roebuck, being desperate for game time, is hoping to make a move this January, especially as her current contract, like Earps, runs out in June; Manchester United on the cards?

Chelsea is pursuing defender Maelle Lakrar, the French international, to join the fold in the recent injuries, especially of Millie Bright.

The Australians are coming to town with West Ham in talks with Midfielder Katrina Gorry to boost their team to prevent regulation. Spur is hoping for her Australian teammate Charlotte Grant.

West Ham again wants to create some depth in their squad by trying to bring Canadian centre-back Shelina Zadorsky on loan.

From across the pond, Emily Fox, a US defender, is moving more and more closer to joining Arsenal.

Liverpool is unlikely to do any business this transfer window, so look to the summer.

Tottenham are shopping all over the world for new players to bring in.

West Ham is hoping for some experienced players.

Although they have a maximum number, Arsenal hopes to change things up as much as possible.

Aston Villa are hoping for the second half of the season to be more successful with a new full-back.

Bristol City are also looking for a full-back option/

Manchester City's priority is the players they have and negotiating new contracts.

Chelsea could throw a curve ball into other teams' ore by signing a new striker to replace Sam Kerr, who is out with an ACL injury, hoping to secure the league again.

Manchester United wants to close the gap with its WSL rivals.

Manchester United did not want to "waste money" in window.

Finally, Everton wants to recruit defensive players after Nicoline Sorensen's retirement, but with recent sanctions on the men's teams, are there any funds for this?

Will Sam Kerr sign a new contract with Chelsea? Will anyone else want her with the potential of her being out of the game for a year?
