Arsenal have strengthened their goalkeeping department by signing Czech Republic goalkeeper Barbora Votikova on a loan deal from Slavia Prague. The move is aimed at providing cover for injured Manuela Zinsberger and Anneke Borbe, who both suffered setbacks in recent weeks.
Votikova, 29, boasts an impressive resume with 56 senior international caps and experience playing in the Champions League. She expressed her excitement to join Arsenal, calling it a "huge honour" to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Meanwhile, Everton have made a loan move for Slovenia midfielder Zara Kramzar from Roma, who will provide depth to their squad until the end of the season with an option to sign her permanently. The 20-year-old is eager to make an impact at Goodison Park and has expressed her enthusiasm about playing in the Women's Super League.
In other moves, London City Lionesses signed Denmark youth international midfielder Malou Marcetto from Madrid CFF, while Chelsea rejected a bid for Nigeria midfielder Jennifer Echegini from Paris Saint-Germain. Leicester also explored a loan deal for England youth international midfielder Lexi Potter, but were ultimately unsuccessful due to the club's refusal to sanction it.
Promotion-chasing Bristol City signed Poland defender Oliwia Wos on a three-and-a-half-year contract from Nuremberg in an undisclosed transfer fee. Newcastle United completed a free transfer signing of American forward Simone Charley from Orlando Pride, who is also a former track and field athlete.
Sheffield United turned down offers for their forward Amy Andrews but made other moves, with Ipswich signing 18-year-old full-back Nelly Las on loan from Leicester, and Nottingham Forest adding the 18-year-old Brighton striker Olivia Johnson on loan.

Just what Arsenal needed, another young gun to step up in goal! Barbora Votikova's skills are legit, can't wait to see her in action 
️ i swear if they can make barbora vikova feel this way about them, we're all good 
so this is like super exciting news! but I'm a bit confused about what's going on with all these loans and transfers... like, does it mean they're not good enough to play for the big teams? or are they trying out new players? and why do the teams need backup goalies anyway? 
does anyone know who these teams are? 
I've heard of some but I don't really keep up with football. can someone explain it to me? 
she seems like a solid goalie with a crazy amount of experience under her belt 
hope Manuela Zinsberger and Anneke Borbe get back to fitness soon tho 
she's only 20 tho so gotta be eager to make an impact 
#GoGunners! Hope this move brings stability to their goalkeeping department 
Can't wait to see how she fits in with the team #WomenInFootball #GKGoals
Arsenal's move to sign Barbora Votikova is a solid addition to their goalkeeping department, especially with Zinsberger and Borbe injured 
. I think Everton making a loan move for Zara Kramzar is a great piece of business too - she's got loads of talent at just 20 years old 
The fact that Chelsea rejected a bid for Jennifer Echegini from PSG is pretty interesting, I wonder what went down behind closed doors 
. But overall, it's all about keeping the momentum going and building towards next season's success 
anyone think that's gonna lead to some fun transfer negotiations this season? 
Like seriously, it's about time more girls were getting the recognition they deserve in the beautiful game. I'm loving that Everton picked up Zara Kramzar, she sounds like a total boss 
. And Arsenal signing Barbora Votikova? Genius move, more depth in goal is always a good thing 
. Can't wait to see how these signings shake things up! 
. And I'm loving the fact that she's got options to sign permanently after this season 
. And good for Everton for getting Zara Kramzar, she sounds like a real starlet! I mean, who needs Chelsea when you can have Slovenia, right? 
. Can't we get some more in-depth analysis or quotes from the players themselves? That would be so much more engaging for me! 
i mean i just saw that Arsenal signed this amazing czech goalie barbora votikova and i'm literally shaking with excitement 
she has 56 senior international caps already! and the other moves are fire too, like everton signing zara kramzar and london city lionesses getting malou marcetto 
Leicester's decision not to sign Lexi Potter for loan stinks 
The rest of the signings seem legit tho 
Bristol City got a great defender in Oliwia Wos and Newcastle made some decent moves with Simone Charley 
! And what's up with all these loan deals? It's like the top teams are trying to get a head start on the season without committing to full transfers... I guess it's just business as usual in women's football 
.
The Women's Super League is getting so lit! Barbs (Barbora Votikova) joining Arsenal is a genius move, she's gonna bring that Czech firepower to the pitch 
!
