Arsenal Ladies winter transfer window review

Apr 18, 2017

Now that the transfer window has closed, we can review what business the Ladies did over the three month period.

3. In

Arsenal managed to get Kim Little back from Seattle for, allegedly, a lot of money.

Signing Heather O’Reilly brought a lot of experience and quality on the right wing. A top level signing in a position where no-one has really made their mark in the last three seasons.

Young England Next Generation forward, Beth Mead, was also signed as the club took advantage of Sunderland Ladies’ decision to go back to semi-professional football. It will be interesting to see if she can displace Jodie Taylor for the centre forward spot.

Carla Humphrey was re-signed after her year out on loan at Doncaster Belles, but earlier games seem to signal a lack of trust in her ability as playing time has been scarce for the attacking midfielder.

Anna Moorhouse was signed from Doncaster as well to provide back-up and competition for Sari Van Veenendaal in goal following Emma Byrne’s release at the end of last season.

Players in: Kim Little (Seattle Reign), Carla Humphrey (Doncaster Belles – end of loan), Heather O’Reilly (FC Kansas City), Beth Mead (Sunderland), Anna Moorhouse (Doncaster Belles)
