The January transfer window has already seen some major moves for clubs in the Women’s Super League (WSL).
Tottenham made the first signing of the window back in November, with Signe Gaupset joining the club from SK Brann.
Business has picked up rapidly this month, with Tottenham the busiest side of the window, making four additional signings to Gaupset.

Title challengers Manchester City have made the biggest signing so far, with the addition of Sam Coffey.
