Welcome back to Arsenal Women Trailblazers. In this episode I am getting your diary sorted first, then your transfer fix. I walk you through all the key dates for the 2026–27 season: WSL opening weekend, Champions League league phase and knockouts, FA Cup rounds and the international breaks, so you do not have to keep rewinding the pod every time a draw comes out. I also point you to the Arsenal news section so you can see the whole list in one place.

Then we get to the good stuff. There is some lovely news with Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang all picking up MBEs in the King’s Birthday Honours, plus an update on academy product Leila Harbert heading off to work with Jonas Eidevall again at San Diego Wave.

After that I dive into what you really want to talk about: Arsenal Women transfer news. I profile four players we are heavily linked with this summer and ask whether they are floor raisers or proper ceiling raisers for this squad.

•Ona Batlle as a potential starting left back to replace Katie McCabe

•Selina Circi as a right sided forward and goal threat in the Beth Mead zone

•Geraldine Reuteler as a ridiculously versatile midfielder who can pretty much play anywhere

•Lisa Baum as a 19 year old left footer who loves cutting in from the right and shooting from range

This is me doing the digging so you don't have to. Come tell me what you think about these four on Instagram at @arsenalwomentrailblazers and let's get into it.
