That's it!
As the cliche goes, the transfer window has slammed shut.
Though it wasn't the busiest deadline day we've ever seen, clubs across the WSL did some fantastic business this month.
There are one or two things we'll tie up in the morning when we receive official confirmation, but for now, it's time to call it a day.
Thanks a lot for joining our deadline day live. Catch you soon.

"I like to play in big stadiums. I am looking forward to it and to score goals in front of the fans and to leave everything on the pitch for them and for the club.
"I am proud. It is nice to be the first Slovenian in the WSL. I am excited to show on the pitch what I can do now.
"I enjoyed playing in Italy but I’ve always wanted to go to England, I think it is the best league in the world. I am excited to see the level here.
"I would like to take Everton as high as I can and help the team. Maybe we can achieve some trophies in the future."
Roma to Everton

Everton have completed the signing of Roma midfielder Zara Kramzar on loan until the end of the season.
The deal includes an obligation to make the move permanent in the summer.
The 20-year-old Slovenia international has spent the last year on loan at Italian club Como.

Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world, with a special team and special supporters, so it’s a huge honour for me to come here. It’s been a dream of mine to play at Emirates Stadium and I can’t wait to get started."
Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers added: "We’re delighted to bring in an experienced goalkeeper in Barbora, who will provide additional cover and competition in our goalkeeper unit.
"Barbora has extensive experience across different leagues in Europe and is familiar with the WSL, so we feel she is an excellent signing to strengthen our squad for the remainder of this season."
Slavia Prague to Arsenal
Image source, BBC SportArsenal have completed the signing of former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Barbora Votikova from Slavia Prague on loan until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old Czech international, who made 11 appearances for Spurs in 2023-24, will provide cover for Daphne van Domselaar.
Anneke Borbe started Arsenal's last four WSL games while Van Domselaar recovered from an injury, but was taken to hospital on Sunday after suffering a head injury during the final of the Fifa Women's Champions Cup. She has since been discharged.
Arsenal lost Austrian goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger to an ACL injury in October.
Image source, Getty ImagesOn joining London City, Marcetto said: "I feel very excited and so happy to be here. The facilities are great and the people I’ve met have made me feel really welcome."England just reminds me of and makes me think of football. It’s the biggest football country, in my opinion.
"Women’s football is growing here and it’s going to be a very competitive league to play in, I’m really excited to be here and get started."London is a cool city. I’m from Copenhagen so I think I’ll fit in very well. I’m so happy to be here."In terms of my playing style, as a midfielder, I like to be creative and also work hard. My aim is to be do the best for the team. Winning and earning points for the team is the important thing."
Madrid CFF to London City Lionesses
Image source, BBC SportWe have a done deal!
A couple of hours ago our women's football reporter Emma Sanders reported that London City Lionesses were set sign Denmark midfielder Malou Marcetto from Madrid CFF.
In the last few minutes, London City have officially confirmed the signing of Marcetto for a small fee.
The 22-year-old has penned a contract until the summer of 2028.
Right, we're not expecting any deals to come through any time soon so we're going to wrap up this live text.
If anyone springs into action before the 23:00 GMT deadline tonight, we'll be across it on our women's football page. Make sure you keep an eye on that.
Thanks for joining us, catch you soon!
Image source, Getty ImagesLondon City Lionesses-bound Malou Marcetto is certainly an exciting prospect.
The 22-year-old midfielder has made 18 appearances for Madrid CFF this season, scoring four goals and providing two assists.
Madrid CFF are currently 8th in the Spanish top flight.
The Denmark international joined the club in 2024 from French club Dijon, having begun her senior career with Danish side Brondby in 2020.
She joins a packed midfield stable at London City, which already boasts the likes of Danielle van de Donk, Saki Kumagai and Grace Geyoro.

These are:

Image source, Getty ImagesI'm told London City Lionesses are set to sign Denmark midfielder Malou Marcetto on a permanent deal from Madrid CFF.
London City originally hoped to bring her in when her contract expired in the summer, but have been able to finalise a deal in this window for a small fee.
The 22-year-old has represented her country at youth level and London City believes Marcetto brings high potential to the squad and provides added first-team competition.
Their transfer policy this year has been to build a squad with a mixture of high-potential young talent and a sprinkling of big-name stars.
They have already signed France international striker Delphine Cascarino in this window, but are not expected to bring in anyone else.
Image source, ReutersThere are plenty of other players up and down the WSL that will be considering their futures in the coming months, with their deals also set to expire this summer.
That extensive list includes the following:
Arsenal
Chelsea
Man City
Man Utd
Tottenham
London City
Everton
Aston Villa
Leicester fans - we've got news of a deal to bring you!
Unfortunately it's not a new signing though.
18-year-old defender Nelly Las has joined WSL 2 side Ipswich Town on loan until the end of the season.
The academy graduate has made 23 appearances since her Foxes debut in October 2024.

Image source, Getty ImagesChelsea have brought in Ellie Carpenter but they seem to be working well together. Bronze still wants to play - she looks fit and she wants to dominate all the trophies.
I don't know where she would go and she wants to win another trophy with England. I think Chelsea is a great place for her.
Verdict: Stick.

Image source, Getty ImagesChelsea manager Sonia Bompastor knows how important Lucy's mentality is and what her levels are. I would suggest Sonia offers her a new contract.
We have played with Lucy and you know how competitive she is. She wouldn't want to take a bit-part role. She would want to end her career at the top, competing in every minute of every game.
Verdict: Stick.
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter two seasons in Spain with Barcelona, Lucy Bronze returned to England with Chelsea in 2024 and helped them to an unbeaten domestic treble of WSL title, Women's FA Cup and League Cup.
Now 34, Bronze's two-year deal with the champions is about to run out but she remains a serial winner, having won five Champions League titles across her career as well as Euro 2022 and 2025 with England.

Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester City were hoping to try and pull off a move for Chelsea's Lexi Potter on loan but were very quickly shut down by the Blues, who want to keep her there.
As it stands, there's nobody else on the cards for Leicester. It also looks quiet at Aston Villa too, with no imminent arrivals expected.
We still have around nine hours until the 23:00 GMT deadline though so we'll see what happens but we're not expecting movement there.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's clever from the club [to extend Toone's deal]. They've lost some massive players in previous seasons on free transfers. They want to keep her and this means other clubs would have to pay big money to get her out of the contract.
She is a phenomenal talent and United through and through. You want her in the WSL but she wants to play in the Champions League. United are bringing in a lot of new faces as well, so it feels exciting for her.
Verdict: Twist, maybe?
Fara Williams
Former England midfielder and BBC pundit
Image source, Getty ImagesMiss Manchester United. You need players who know the club inside out. They need someone who really understands what it means to represent the club. It's key for them to re-sign Toone and hopefully she stays there and has that legacy with United.
She absolutely loves the club. That's really important for clubs in their set-up. She's a big-game player and the one who will turn up and perform in cup finals.
Verdict: Stick.
Image source, Getty ImagesTwo-time European Championship winner and England international Ella Toone was set to become a free agent this summer until Manchester United triggered a one-year extension on her contract earlier this month.
The 26-year-old joined the club as part of its inaugural senior squad in 2018 and remains one of United's most important players on and off the field. But what does the long term future hold for her?
