The last day of the transfer window saw a rather spicy trade between city rivals. 

The young player's departure had been rumored for some time. She had been linked with Chelsea and Arsenal, and most recently there had been talk of a swap deal involving Jess Park from Manchester City. Clinton confirmed her departure on her Instagram account.

The Guardian published a candid interview with Jamaican striker Khadija “Bunny” Shaw, focusing on the critical importance of players’ mental health. Shaw, who along with Alessia Russo was the top scorer last season, opens up about a topic that remains somewhat taboo in sport. Just like Jess Carter after the Euros, she has faced racist abuse.

The last few days have been marked by speculation that 32-year-old Swiss player Lia Wälti would leave Arsenal of her own accord after seven seasons. Today, Walti herself confirmed this move when she said goodbye to the club with which she won the Champions League in May in a farewell video.                   

Nike has committed to an unprecedented five-year sponsorship of England’s Women’s Super League and WSL2, offering free football boots to around 250 players who lack their own endorsement deals.

Kosovare Asllani, captain of the Swedish national team and London City Lionesses, spoke about her club's ambitions for the upcoming WSL season. Although they are newcomers to the competition, LCL certainly do not plan to stay at the bottom of the table. This is also evident from the big-name signings the club made over the summer.
