Both Arsenal and Chelsea have said that Katie McCabe will not be swapping north London for Emma Hayes' side. Photograph: Harriet Lander/Getty ImagesWhile Arsenal produced the scoreline of the weekend with a 9-0 trouncing of Leeds United in the fourth round of the FA Cup, the chief line of questioning for their manager Jonas Eidevall after the game was Katie McCabe’s future at the club.
On Saturday it was reported by Sky Sports that Arsenal’s Super League rivals Chelsea had put in what was described as a “substantial” bid for the Republic of Ireland captain, but Eidevall dismissed any prospect of it being accepted, saying that there was “absolutely no chance of that move happening”.
The window closes at 5pm on Tuesday afternoon, so Chelsea have until then to up their bid. McCabe has 18 months left on her contract with the north London club, which she joined from Shelbourne in December 2015. She has become a key figure for the side since returning from a loan spell with Glasgow City in 2017 and was voted the club’s player of the year after an outstanding 2020-21 season.
