Arsenal's transfer window: Record-breaking deal and allowing fans to fall in love with a loan player
Arsenal's transfer window has been one of the most impressive in the Women's Super League

Arsenal's transfer window has been impressive so far this summer.
The Gunners have made a world record transfer signing in women's football and they have also brought in a loan player from last season.
But how many signings have they made and who are they?
Arsenal's transfer window: Who has the WSL club signed?
Olivia Smith was one of the breakout stars of the 2024/25 season and it caught the attention of Arsenal.
The Gunners paid a reported £1m for the Liverpool striker which broke the record for the highest transfer in the sport to date.
Arsenal announced the news of 17 July and the Canada international said: “It’s a privilege and an honour to sign for Arsenal.
“It’s my dream to compete for the biggest titles here in England and in Europe and I’m excited to get started and contribute to doing that here with Arsenal.

"The atmosphere the supporters create at Emirates Stadium is incredible and I can’t wait to have that behind me now.”
Before Arsenal announced that star signing, they revealed a signing everyone knew was coming: Chloe Kelly.
Kelly had forced a loan move to the Gunner in January after struggling for minutes at Manchester City. At Arsenal the England international thrived and aided the team to the Women's Champions League trophy.
There were mass rumours that she would join on a permanent move but it was not confirmed until 2 July.
Those two are arguably the Gunners' biggest moves so far in this window but they have welcomed more players and said goodbye to others.
