The WSL transfer deadline day has arrived and there have been some big moves made during the January transfer window.
Tottenham made the first signing of the window back in November, with Signe Gaupset joining the club from SK Brann.
Spurs have been one of the busiest clubs so far with five new additions. The busiest club has been WSL strugglers Liverpool, who have completed six signings.
WSL league leaders Manchester City completed the biggest signing of the window with a £650,000 move for the Portland Thorns.
Manchester United have also recruited strongly, while Chelsea are yet to make a single signing.
Below are all the confirmed deals so far during the WSL January transfer window.
