Manchester City and Chelsea have stolen a great deal of the spotlight in the build-up to the new Women’s Super League season – and Arsenal boss Joe Montemurro is quite happy with that.
The signings of World Cup winners Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewis have seen City grab headlines this summer, while champions Chelsea today signed Pernille Harder from Wolfsburg for what the German club called ‘a record transfer fee for the women’s game’.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s business has perhaps been a little more muted, building on a squad that has proven itself to be one of the best in the country, leaving them out of the conversation for some when it comes to this year’s WSL title.
