Bunny Shaw's 21‑goal haul fuels City title, contract talks stall

Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw capped a glittering season with a 4‑1 demolition of West Ham, sealing Manchester City’s first WSL title. The Jamaican striker finished with 21 goals in 22 starts, becoming the league’s leading scorer for the third straight year.

Shaw’s contract ends this summer, and talks with City have stalled after months of negotiations. Captain Alex Greenwood urged the club to persuade her to stay, while coach André Jelíčková praised her teamwork. Yet Shaw said Manchester is home, hinting she may weigh options before the deadline.

Chelsea reportedly leads the race to sign Shaw, despite their recent third‑place finish. She has already dropped 100 WSL goal involvements since joining City in 2023, and a brace against Chelsea pushed City into the FA Cup final. Her knack for big‑match goals keeps European clubs circling.

With the title win and a prolific season, Shaw’s next move will shape both her career and City’s squad plans. City has backup options, but the club’s willingness to invest in talent makes her departure unlikely. Until a new contract surfaces, the football world watches her decision closely.
