Everton are working on a deal to sign the Slovenia midfielder Zara Kramzar from Roma on a relatively quiet-looking Women’s Super League transfer deadline day.
The 20-year-old is in Merseyside hoping to finalise a loan for the remainder of the season to Everton, who have made two other loan signings during the window, the experienced Manchester United full-back Hannah Blundell and the young Arsenal midfielder Laila Harbert.
The majority of WSL clubs completed their winter business early this year, so Tuesday’s rush for the 11pm deadline is expected to be far less frantic than in recent windows, such as September, when a flurry of last-minute deals went through, including Chelsea’s signing of Alyssa Thompson. Arsenal, after injuries, are interested in adding a goalkeeper if the right deal can be done.
Chelsea are understood to have had an offer rejected by Paris Saint-Germain for the Nigeria midfielder Jennifer Echegini and it is said to be unlikely any progress will be made with those discussions in this window. Leicester are understood to have enquired about taking the England youth international midfielder Lexi Potter on loan but, as of Tuesday lunchtime, Chelsea were not willing to sanction that, unless they bring in a midfielder.
Potter, 19, is keen to play regularly. Her last start for Chelsea came in their 9-1 win over Liverpool in December, but a source close to Chelsea said she is regarded as an important player.
Newcastle are working to sign the American forward Simone Charley. The former Portland Thorns and Angel City player, and former college track and field athlete, left Orlando Pride at the end of 2025.
Newcastle’s fellow WSL2 side Sheffield United are understood to have turned down offers for their forward Amy Andrews. Ipswich have signed the 18-year-old full-back Nelly Las on loan from Leicester for the rest of the campaign, and Nottingham Forest have taken the 18-year-old Brighton striker Olivia Johnson on loan.
