From Chloe Kelly to Keira Walsh, it was one of the biggest Women's Super League transfer windows in history! Ellen White, Jen Beattie and Ben Haines are all together for the first time to digest the ins and outs of January 2025. WSL leaders Chelsea have strengthened even more, adding England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona in another big-money move. Can anyone stop Sonia Bompastor's team and what does this side need to achieve in order to reach their potential? After posting a couple of emotional statements on social media surrounding her situation at Manchester City, Chloe Kelly completed an 11th-hour loan move to Arsenal.
