When it was revealed that Leah Williamson would miss the start of the new Women's Super League season, most assumed Lotte Wubben-Moy or Laia Codina would take her place in the heart of Arsenal's defence. Wubben-Moy came into the campaign fresh off the back of a new contract and a role in England's Euro 2025 triumph, while Codina's status as a key starter in Spain's World Cup win in 2023 tells you the level she can reach. And yet, both have been usurped by 18-year-old Katie Reid.
Alexia Putellas has opened up about the pain of losing to England in the Euro 2025 final, admitting she was left 'feeling like crap' and mentally drained in the days that followed. Spain fell 3-1 on penalties after a tense clash, and for the two-time Ballon d’Or winner, the defeat was one of the toughest moments of her career.
It’s well-known at this point that despite winning back-to-back European Championship titles and reaching a World Cup final in between, England’s Lionesses have a problem at left-back. There’s a real lack of options for Sarina Wiegman in the position and shoehorning players into it hasn’t helped much either - leaving many wondering just what Gabby George has to do to get her chance.
Marc Skinner has explained why Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier is the “same ilk of a player” as fellow Lionesses hero Lucy Bronze. The Red Devils’ no-nonsense skipper was unaware that she reached a notable personal landmark in a WSL clash with the London City Lionesses that saw her find the target from the penalty spot in a crushing 5-1 victory.
Georgia Stanway says there's one major goal standing in the way of her being able to retire happily, despite already landing two European Championship titles.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has revealed Lucy Bronze is still some weeks away from a return after sustaining an injury while on England duty at the Euros.
Everton Women have pulled off one of the boldest moves of the summer, breaking their transfer record to prise Ruby Mace away from Leicester City. While the club haven't disclosed the exact figure, reports speculate that the deal dwarfs the £100,000 bid Everton saw turned down earlier in the window. The Toffees were determined to get their player, and under ambitious new ownership, they’ve finally landed their marquee signing.
Manchester United are reportedly exploring a shock swoop for Manchester City and Lionesses midfielder Jess Park before the summer transfer window closes on Thursday. Park made her professional debut at the age of 18 at City and has spent the last eight years at Etihad Stadium. United's interest in Park comes just days after news broke about City's pursuit of their star midfielder Grace Clinton.
Women's Super League teams will continue to take the knee following the Jess Carter racism row during the 2025 European Championship. In July, Carter took to social media to outline the abuse she had received during the tournament and announced her intention to step back from online platforms. Before their semi-final clash, England had announced they would stop taking the knee as a mark of protest.
Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll has disputed Hannah Hampton’s claim that she threw her water bottle – containing penalty notes – into the crowd during the Euro 2025 final. The England shot-stopper recently told the story in an interview, but Coll has now responded on social media, telling the Lionesses hero to 'calm down' as she questioned the truth of the incident.
