On Friday Arsenal boss Eidevall told reporters that the Gunners will be active in the January transfer market, both in terms of incomings and outgoings. He left open the possibility that the WSL title contenders could make a move for Earps, goalkeeper for England and WSL rivals Manchester United.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Earps' future at United has been uncertain since before the end of last season, with Arsenal touted as her most likely destination. Arsenal had a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-improved-bid-man-utd-england-goalkeeper-mary-earps/bltfbe096073aab1b41" target="_blank">world-record bid</a> for the 30-year-old rejected over the summer. The goalkeeper's United contract was due to expire at the end of last season, but after player and club failed to agree terms on a new long-term deal, Marc Skinner's side activated a one-year extension to keep her.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While speaking to the media on Friday, Eidevall said: "The squad is not permanent. I can see players in and out in the winter transfer window."Earlier this week, United boss Skinner said he is "hopeful" that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-mary-earps-arsenal-wsl-marc-skinner-transfer/blt863a17dd5ebceec0#cs0fb24bcc337541c7" target="_blank">Earps will sign a new contract</a> to extend her stay in the north.

WHAT EIDEVALL SAID

With neither manager - nor Earps - giving any clear hints about where Earps will be playing in 2024, it's looking like a case of wait-and-see. In the meantime, Earps will look to end her 2023 on a high when United take on Liverpool on Sunday in their final match of the year. Arsenal will round off their year with a north London derby against Tottenham.
