The January transfer window has been busy so far with three arrivals and succession planning apparently at full speed ahead of a summer window that might see a lot of changes and, perhaps, the departure of the old guard?
The AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022 will take place in India from 20 January until 06 February and will also act as FIFA WWC 2023 qualifier, with four Arsenal players selected.
Arsenal were soundly beaten 2-0 at bottom of the table Birmingham on Sunday. It was a poor performance, in line with others recently and with four defeats in five games for the Gunners, alarm bells should be ringing very loudly.
The right-back/centre-back, Anna Patten, is the first Arsenal move in this January transfer window and it is a little surprise to see her leave the club until the end of the season.
As we enter the second half of the 2021/22 season, it’s time to ask if the Arsenal Women can match their predecessors and win the quadruple like in 2006/07.
