From Manchester City’s move for Vivianne Miedema to Brighton’s comings and goings, it has been a busy time before the new season

Jonas Eidevall has certainly added quality in the World Cup winner and Ballon d’Or nominee Mariona Caldentey, the Netherlands goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar and the highly regarded midfielder Rosa Kafaji but that would all have been overshadowed if the world record bid for Keira Walsh had been accepted at the end of the window. However, Barcelona turned down what is believed to have been an offer worth more than £900,000. There have been several outgoings but the first team largely remains intact. Only the departure of Vivianne Miedema leaving for Manchester City raised eyebrows on a free. Overall, a good window. SW
