The Irish captain was recently linked with a big-money move to Chelsea.
Emma Duffy Reports from Marbella. VERA PAUW IS set to add one more Irish-eligible player to her set-up as the 2023 World Cup moves into full view.
“They need to show themselves first,” the Ireland boss said of the potential newcomer. “They have to have done a lot of work already and they need to be better than [what’s already there].”Pauw insisted that there’s no change of dynamic in the squad with the additions, the balance remaining settled as she continues to pursue this avenue of searching out non-Irish born players.
“They didn’t come in like, ‘Look at me’. They actually came in and were, ‘Let’s hear what it is’. It’s difficult to come into a squad like this, that’s so determined, but all the players have welcomed them so well. They’re really part of the group.
