What happened. The WSL transfer window shut on Thursday night, with Arsenal and London City Lionesses emerging as the biggest winners, while Man City, Chelsea, and Man Utd face questions over their business.
- Arsenal aim for first WSL title since 2019.
- London City signed Ballon d'Or favourite Alexia Putellas.
- Man City kept Bunny Shaw but title rivals strengthened.
“If the answer to the question 'Who has improved most this window?' isn't Arsenal or London City, then they need to have a word with their recruitment teams.”
— Anton Toloui
The new WSL season kicks off Friday with London City hosting Man Utd, live on Sky Sports.
