Arsenal Expected to Sign PSG Defender Élisa De Almeida Before Transfer Deadline
Arsenal are reportedly finalizing a deal to sign French defender Élisa De Almeida from Paris Saint-Germain for over £500,000. The transfer is expected to be completed before the Women’s Super League deadline.
Arsenal are in the final stages of securing the transfer of 28-year-old France defender Élisa De Almeida from Paris Saint-Germain. Reports indicate that the two clubs have agreed on a transfer fee exceeding £500,000. De Almeida, who has been a part of the PSG squad since 2021, is expected to join the Women’s Super League side before the 11pm BST deadline.
While the focus remains on De Almeida’s move to Arsenal, the transfer window has also seen activity involving other PSG players. Manchester City has expressed interest in signing PSG midfielder Jennifer Echegini. However, sources report that PSG has been resistant to letting the 25-year-old leave, actively working to retain her services as the deadline approaches. The push for these signings reflects a broader trend of WSL clubs looking to bolster their squads during the final hours of the transfer window.
