That's why Chelsea want Shaw! Striker punishes potential suitors

As Chelsea and Man City prepared to face off in the Women's FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday, all the talk was about Khadija Shaw. The striker is out of contract in Manchester in a few weeks' time and all the talk is that she will be leaving, with Chelsea in hot pursuit of his signature. So, of course, Shaw took centre stage at Stamford Bridge, scoring twice to knock the Blues out of the competition and send City to Wembley in a dramatic 3-2 win that will go down as a cup classic.

Shaw breaks Chelsea hearts as Man City join Brighton in FA Cup final

Man City will take on Brighton in the Women's FA Cup final later this month, after Liverpool and Chelsea fell in the semi-finals on Sunday. It'll be a first Wembley appearance for the Seagulls, who downed the Reds in a dramatic 3-2 win, and they will be huge underdogs against Man City, the newly-elected Women's Super League champions who won by the same scoreline in extra time at Stamford Bridge, thanks to Khadija Shaw's double.

Kerr primed to add to Chelsea legend before summer exit

In a few weeks' time, Sam Kerr's Chelsea contract will come to its end. After six-and-a-half years, 156 appearances and 114 goals, which have helped deliver 12 trophies, it looks like this month will be her last in Chelsea blue. If it is, Kerr will leave as the club's all-time top goal-scorer in the Women's Super League and a genuine legend - but there is still time to add to that legacy yet.

Pay Bunny her money! City can't let Shaw leave for Chelsea

Over the last few weeks, as Manchester City have been chasing down their first Women's Super League title in 10 years, things have become nervy on and off the pitch. Dropped points had threatened to let Arsenal back in the title race, until the Gunners' own midweek slip-up at Brighton ended that suspense. Still, though any concerns around the destiny of the WSL trophy have now been put to bed, City fans can still worry themselves over the future of their star striker, Khadija Shaw.

Lionesses icon Kirby still thriving as Brighton eye FA Cup glory

Fran Kirby's achievements throughout her career to date make for remarkable reading. Part of the Lionesses side which beat Germany in the European Championship final at Wembley back in 2022, the 32-year-old also lifted 16 major honours during her incredible nine-year stay at Chelsea, with individual accolades galore coming in and amongst all of that. She was there for England's first major title and Chelsea's first major title; now, in Brighton colours, Kirby will hope she can help another ambitious side hit new heights.
