World Record-Breaking Deals in the WSL Transfer Window
The Women’s Super League (WSL) transfer window has been an extraordinary one, with world records being shattered left and right. Confirmation of deals still trickling in, it seems to be the Champions Chelsea who might have taken the cake with their latest signing, Alysia Thompson. The 20-year-old winger has agreed a long-term contract at the club, with a fee of around £1 million that could rise with bonuses and add-ons to just below £1.5 million, according to sources in the US.
This would indeed signify a world record deal, potentially eclipsing the current record held by Paris Saint-Germain’s Grace Guru, who moved to London City for £1.43 million. London City, the newly promoted side, have now made 16 permanent signings during what has been a very busy summer window. We’re set to hear from their head coach later on this morning.
Manchester City have confirmed the signing of England international Grace Clinton from their local rivals Manchester United. Clinton has signed a four-year deal with City and becomes the sixth addition for them this summer. “I’m so excited,” Clinton said in a statement. “I love the way Man City play. It’s been tough to play against them in the past, so I’m excited to be here and meet the girls soon hopefully. It’s an amazing squad.”
However, Manchester United have now signed winger Jess Park from City on a four-year deal. City made Park their top target after reluctantly accepting United’s bid for Clinton. Elsewhere, Gareth Taylor’s Liverpool made four deadline day signings, including defender Raa Shizu on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City.
