"The 2026 winter transfer window for the Women's Super League (WSL) begins on Jan. 2 and ends on Feb. 3, but what do teams need to do? Manchester City have set the pace and lead the table by six points as we head into the winter break, with action set to resume on Jan. 10, while Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have work to do to catch them."
"Having had their best start to the season, City do not need to do much. New manager Andree Jeglertz will have a better understanding of what the team needs now, after he arrived in the summer, so could look to strengthen their position. City are certainly keen on bringing in a defensive midfielder to provide a rotation option for Japan star Yui Hasegawa, who the team rely on heavily."
"City have scored 32 goals so far, six more than Man United, but the producer of 12 of those goals, Khadija "Bunny" Shaw, is out of contract in the summer. The prolific Jamaica international has been at the club since 2021 and recently scored her 100th goal for the club, so getting her to sign a long-term contract has to be Man City's primary focus."
The 2026 WSL winter transfer window runs Jan. 2–Feb. 3, with league action resuming Jan. 10. Manchester City lead by six points and require few changes after their best start. City are likely to target a defensive midfielder to rotate with Yui Hasegawa. Khadija "Bunny" Shaw is out of contract in the summer after scoring 100 club goals, making her long-term deal the club's primary focus. City have already extended Hasegawa, Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp. Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United will aim to strengthen and close the gap on City.
