"Arsenal are already lining up huge signings for the summer, with England international Georgia Stanway close to signing a pre-contract agreement to join when her Bayern Munich contract expires. They are also in advanced discussions with Barcelona full-back Ona Batlle to bring her in on a free deal in the summer. The Gunners have been known to pounce late in the window and want more midfielders."
"Chelsea have had a bid for Nigeria midfielder Jennifer Echegini turned down by Paris St-Germain but might make another attempt. But with the French window already shut, PSG cannot replace her so it is unlikely they will budge. There could be a departure from the Blues with USA striker Catarina Macario attracting interest from National Women's Super League (NWSL) clubs. Germany midfielder Sjoeke Nusken's future has also been questioned but it looks like she is set to stay at Chelsea unless anything rapidly changes."
The Women's Super League winter transfer window closes at 23:00 GMT on Tuesday. Clubs have been active since 2 January, with major moves such as Sam Coffey to Manchester City for £600,000, Oriane Jean-Francois to Aston Villa for £450,000, and Denise O'Sullivan to Liverpool for £300,000. Arsenal are targeting summer additions including Georgia Stanway and Ona Batlle and may pursue late midfield reinforcements. Chelsea had a bid for Jennifer Echegini rejected by PSG and face possible departures including Catarina Macario, while Sjoeke Nusken appears likely to remain. Manchester City have agreed a loan for Codie Thomas to Glasgow City, and London City Lionesses seek another signing before the deadline.
