At 11pm tonight, the WSL summer transfer window will officially be closed.It's been a nonstop summer of movements and speculation with the majority of WSL sides, barring Manchester City, stocking up on at least five new recruits. The big transfer could come from the north west where Man Utd are closing in on a deal for Everton defender Gabby George after activating her £150,000 release clause. Arsenal may also add to their squad before the deadline. The Gunners in particular have been busy since enduring a season ravaged by injuries last term. Jonas Eidevall has made a repeat scenario look unlikely with the signing of Alessia Russo following her contract expiration at Man Utd, as well as World Cup stars Amanda Ilestedt and Laia Codina. Chelsea, though, have remained vigilant, seizing Paris St-Germain defender Ashley Lawrence and highly-rated USWNT striker Catarino Macario, along with a tranche of young talent for Emma Hayes to hone.Aston Villa have touted one of the strongest windows, with Lucy Parker, Man Utd pair Kirsty Hansen and Adriana Leon, and England's Ebony Salmon all arriving at the club as manager Carla Ward continues her mission of disrupting the top half.Man Utd responded to the loss of Russo by bringing in World Cup Golden Boot winner Hinata Miyazawa and Barcelona forward Geyse.
