She's considered a key player at the club and remains under contract with them until 2028. It's unlikely she will be going anywhere. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Surprised more players aren't tired of sitting on the bench at Chelsea. Bompastor doesn't really rotate much, and world-class players get about 30 minutes on the pitch per month. Most players want to play, not just the big wage. Rich Steph Houghton Former England captain speaking to BBC Sport Potentially, but I feel as though Chelsea always do really good business in windows anyway and in the summer. There's been talk about the midfielder from PSG [Jennifer Echegini], but Chelsea have got a really good squad already. They've built one for the future and have experienced players as well. It's just at this moment in time they haven't been performing to the expectations we have seen. Nizaar Kinsella BBC Sport Chelsea reporter The 25-year-old renewed her contract in October, extending her deal until 2027 without an option for a further season, but has started only two Women’s Super League matches this campaign. During those discussions with Chelsea, she expressed her love for the club and also her desire to play more minutes than she had the previous season. Nizaar Kinsella BBC Sport Chelsea reporter Sjoeke Nusken joined Chelsea from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 Chelsea midfielder Sjoeke Nusken is increasingly frustrated by her lack of game time and is considering her options over a future move. Although she accepts she will not leave in January, she is targeting a summer move away from west London if her situation does not improve. Chelsea consider Nusken an important squad player at this time and, with her contract not due to expire until next summer, they can command a transfer fee in future negotiations. Steph Houghton Former England captain speaking to BBC Sport I'm not surprised it's been a quiet day so far. You may have a couple of surprise but not major signings, maybe towards the bottom end of the league. Tottenham Hotspur With no more arrivals or departures expected at Tottenham, here's a reminder of their transfer window. .. Ins: Outs: Steph Houghton Former England captain speaking to BBC Sport I’ve really enjoyed watching Spurs this season. Martin Ho has done a really good job of propelling them into the top half of the league and making them more consistent. That's something Tottenham have struggled with in seasons gone by. He's brought in the likes of Julie

Blakstad - she's young, she's got WSL experience and is the right age so you can really mould and push her as much as you want. Signe Gaupset from Norway has got huge quality and potential too. I think Tottenham have been really clever this window and are going from strength to strength. Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter Tottenham's business is also done for the day having acted early in the window to nail their five targets. They are already looking at plans for the summer and feel the squad will be in good shape by then. Supporters may have liked to have seen a defensive midfielder and a centre-back come through the door, but they are positions we believe the club are already looking at for the summer. The arrival of Signe Gaupset in particular was a really exciting one and they have definitely been one of the most successful clubs in the window. Martin Ho is a coach the club think can develop world-class talent and they have targeted those young stars. The arrival of Maika Hamano on loan from Chelsea also brings quality for the second half of the season. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Really disappointed Chelsea don't seem to be signing a left back. Baltimore is much better used up the pitch and Niamh Charles needs rotation to keep fit Elly, Devon Who would you want the Blues to bring in, Elly? West Ham United So, nothing else expected from West Ham. It's been a busy window for them, but what do you make of their ins and outs? Ins: Outs: Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter We're not expecting anything else to happen at West Ham today. They have had to fend off a few bids for top-scorer Shekiera Martinez in the window I'm told but they are happy to have kept hold of her. She's a key player for the club and they have lost several regular starters in the window, albeit for good money. They have reinvested the money from other sales - such as Amber Tysiak's £150, 000 move to Union Berlin and Anouk Denton's £200, 000 switch to Bay FC - into new signings. Transfer Deadline Days are the busiest days of the year for our club reporters. So what tools do they need to keep up to date with all of the latest news from up and down the country? Wonder no more. .. This video can not be played Click 'Get Involved' to have your say I think Leicester have recruited well during January. We are still desperate for a play-maker to fill the role Momiki vacated. We're also missing some quality on the wings. So I'm hoping to see a couple more signings in the door today. Scott, Hinckley Arsenal Speaking of Arsenal, let's take a step back to that earlier news of them looking for a goalkeeper ahead of tonight's deadline. The number one spot has been a bit of a problem area for them this season, hasn't it? Starting keeper Daphne van Domselaar missed large stretches of the first half of the campaign with tendon and quad issues, though she was back on the field on Sunday in place of stand-in Anneke Borbe. The German was stretchered off in the final seconds of the side's Champions Cup triumph over Corinthians on Sunday after a worrying collision with team-mate Lotte Wubben-Moy. She is recovering at home after going to hospital for checks. And don't forget long-term goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger is out for the foreseeable with an ACL injury suffered in training in October. All that considered it looks a wise move to look for more depth in that area. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Chelsea and Arsenal need a goal poacher like Bunny Shaw if they want to compete for the title. That's who I'd get in for both those teams. Karen, Manchester Not sure there is enough money in the world to prize the Jamaican forward away from the Blues - not just in this window, in any window. Last night, Tottenham announced midfielder Anna Csiki has joined Roma on loan for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. The Hungary international spent the first half of the campaign on loan at West Ham, where she made four Women's Super League appearances. She scored her first WSL goal in the Hammers' 2-2 draw against Liverpool in December. Csiki, 26, joined Spurs from BK Hacken in August 2024 and made 13 appearances for the club last season. Manchester United midfielder Mared Griffiths has joined Sunderland on loan until the end of the season. The 18-year-old Wales international signed her first professional contract with United last summer and scored twice on her senior debut in a 6-0 win over Wolves in the FA Cup fifth round in February 2025. However, she has not made a single appearance in the Women's Super League this season. Griffiths joins Sunderland with the club sitting eighth in the WSL 2. "She's an exciting, attacking young player who's ready to take the next step into senior football, " Sunderland head coach Mel Reay said. The loan moves keep trickling in. ..
