Manchester City Women have secured Bunny Shaw to a new four-year deal, a major coup for the club.

What happened?

The summer transfer window for the Women's Super League opens on June 18, and Manchester City Women are looking to strengthen their squad. They were considering striker options before getting Shaw to sign a new deal, and looked at West Ham United's Shekeira Martinez. But sources said they are set to land Beth Mead on a free transfer after her exit from Arsenal.

Why it matters for Manchester City Women

The signing of Shaw and potential arrival of Mead will be a major boost to Manchester City Women's chances of retaining the Women's Super League title. As of June 28, 2026, Manchester City Women are 1st in the FA WSL, with 55 points from 22 games, and a recent form of WWLWW. They have scored 62 goals this season, conceding 19, and have a 4-point lead at the top of the table.

What comes next?

Manchester City Women will look to add a few rotational options to their squad to add depth. However, it is not expected to be a huge window for Andrée Jeglertz's side, as they have already built their core squad and signed plenty of new players last summer. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | League standing | 1st in FA WSL | | Points | 55 | | Goals scored | 62 | | Goals conceded | 19 | | Lead at the top | 4 points clear of Arsenal W
