Arsenal have stifled any suggestion of Irish captain Katie McCabe leaving for Women’s Super League rivals Chelsea by Tuesday’s transfer deadline.

Saturday night reports from Sky Sports and the Telegraph suggested the Gunners had rejected a substantial bid for the left-sided player who has 18 months left on her contract and was supposedly open to exploratory talks with Chelsea boss Emma Hayes.
