BBC Sport reporter Emma Sanders answered fan questions on the recent Women's Super League (WSL) transfer deadline. She discussed the challenges of reporting transfer fees, a lack of transparency that frustrates fans. Sanders also addressed several player situations, including the potential move of Alexia Putellas, the Barcelona star, to a WSL club.

Sanders found Chelsea's quiet transfer window surprising, especially given their injury situation and position outside the title race. She also touched on the contract situations of Katie McCabe at Arsenal, and Bunny Shaw at Manchester City. Discussions are ongoing for Shaw, but no agreement has been reached yet, which raises concern.

Regarding Putellas, Sanders indicated that the player is still deciding her next move, but WSL clubs have expressed interest. The London City Lionesses are a potential destination, given their financial resources and ambition. Several other players, including Victoria Pelova, are out of contract at Arsenal, making their futures uncertain.
