"Sitting 11 points clear at the top of the WSL, Manchester City could not have hoped for much more at this point in the season. The club's first WSL trophy since 2016 is well within their reach but the 600,000 addition of United States midfielder Sam Coffey from Portland Thorns will give Andree Jeglertz's side an extra boost going into the final eight games of the season."
"Any faint hopes Chelsea had of overhauling City to claim a seventh straight title have not been helped by the lack of recruitment this month, although Houghton was not surprised. "Chelsea have got a really good squad already," she said. "They've built one for the future and have experienced players as well. It's just at this moment in time they haven't been performing to the expectations we have seen.""
The Women's Super League winter transfer window closed with Manchester City 11 points clear and well positioned to win their first WSL title since 2016. City signed United States midfielder Sam Coffey from Portland Thorns for 600,000 to add a defensive-minded option in midfield ahead of the final eight games. Chelsea made few January signings despite having a deep, experienced squad that has underperformed relative to expectations. Manchester United were active early in the window, signing experienced Germany striker Lea Schuller. West Ham and Liverpool were busy throughout the month.
