Summer Transfers

A rapid-fire round-up of the WSL’s busiest transfer window catalogues the deals reshaping the league ahead of 2024/25. Arsenal strengthen with Mariona Caldentey, Daphne van Domselaar and Rosa Kafaji, while Manchester United bring in Dominique Janssen, Elisabeth Terland and Melvine Malard. Chelsea add Sandy Baltimore and Oriane Jean-François, Manchester City sign Vivianne Miedema and Risa Shimizu, and Spurs recruit Hayley Raso and Clare Hunt. Notable departures overseas include Jess Carter to Gotham FC, Mary Earps to Paris Saint-Germain, Katie Zelem to Angel City, and Esme Morgan and Ellie Roebuck both leaving Manchester City. The piece frames the scale of activity as evidence of the women’s game’s rapidly professionalising transfer culture, a world away from the low-key dealings of previous eras.
