Image source, Getty Images Juventus are in talks with Arsenal over a move for Switzerland midfielder Lia Walti. The Italian club are negotiating over the fee for the 32-year-old who has a year remaining on her Gunners contract. Walti has been a key player for Arsenal during her seven-year stint in north London, making more than 100 appearances and winning three major trophies.
The Swiss had the ball in the net on the half-hour mark after Svenja Foelmli's header was helped into her own goal by Glodis Viggosdottir, but the strike was ruled out after a VAR review found that Foelmli had committed a foul in the build-up.
A security and defence partnership is a non-legally-binding declaration of intent and is compatible with neutrality. Switzerland would not be subject to any legal or financial obligations.
"The first half, all the critics should be, or could be for me because I think that was my decision. But at the same time, it was the good intention to provide all the players the possibility to play and try to compete for a place the World Cup."
Faced with unrelenting Russian aggression and the simultaneous withdrawal of American military and diplomatic support, European countries across the continent are reinvesting in defence.
