Everton Aim to Secure Zara Kramzar as Third Signing on WSL Deadline Day
Everton Women are actively pursuing a deal to bring the Slovenian midfielder Zara Kramzar to Merseyside on loan from Roma, as the Women's Super League transfer window draws to a close. The 20-year-old is currently in the area, hoping to finalise an agreement that would see her join the Toffees for the remainder of the season.
Everton's Transfer Strategy and Other Moves
If completed, Kramzar would become Everton's third loan signing of this window, following the arrivals of experienced Manchester United full-back Hannah Blundell and young Arsenal midfielder Laila Harbert. This move underscores Everton's focus on bolstering their squad with a mix of youth and experience as they navigate the competitive WSL landscape.
Meanwhile, across the league, Chelsea have seen an offer for Nigeria midfielder Jennifer Echegini rejected by Paris Saint-Germain, with sources indicating that further progress in these discussions is unlikely before the deadline. In another development, Leicester City have expressed interest in taking Chelsea's England youth international midfielder Lexi Potter on loan. However, as of Tuesday lunchtime, Chelsea were reportedly unwilling to sanction this move unless they secure a replacement midfielder themselves.
Quieter Deadline Day Expected Across the WSL
This transfer deadline day is anticipated to be relatively subdued compared to previous windows, such as September's frantic activity which included Chelsea's signing of Alyssa Thompson. Many WSL clubs have already completed their winter business early, leading to a calmer atmosphere as the 11pm deadline approaches.
Nevertheless, some clubs remain active. Arsenal, dealing with injury concerns, are exploring options to add a goalkeeper if a suitable deal emerges. In the WSL2, Newcastle are working to sign American forward Simone Charley, formerly of Portland Thorns and Angel City, who left Orlando Pride at the end of 2025.
Additional Transfer Activity in Women's Football
Sheffield United, also in WSL2, have reportedly turned down offers for their forward Amy Andrews, indicating a desire to retain key players. Elsewhere, Ipswich have secured the loan signing of 18-year-old full-back Nelly Las from Leicester for the rest of the campaign, while Nottingham Forest have taken 18-year-old Brighton striker Olivia Johnson on loan, highlighting the ongoing movement of young talent within the women's game.
As the deadline looms, these developments reflect a strategic and measured approach by clubs, with Everton's pursuit of Zara Kramzar standing out as a key narrative in an otherwise quiet transfer period for the Women's Super League.
