WHAT HAPPENED?
The England international is hoping to achieve enough over the course of her career to put herself in a sporting GOAT debate at some stage. She is already a European champion, World Cup finalist and two-time winner of the FIFA Best Women’s Goalkeeper Award.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Earps helped Manchester United to FA Cup glory in 2023-24, but is now embracing a new challenge in France after leaving the Red Devils as a free agent and linking up with Paris Saint-Germain. A bright start has been made there, with the 31-year-old settling quickly despite facing obvious language and culture barriers.
WHAT EARPS SAID
As Earps continues to star on the field, her stock is rising off it. That can lead to some rather odd requests when on media duty, with the 31-year-old revealing to her loyal legion of followers on social media that she recently had to field a bizarre farmyard animal question.
