According to the BBC’s Emma Sanders, Everton are preparing a bid in the region of £100,000 for Arsenal’s Danish midfielder Kathrine Kuhl. The Friedkin Group have now completed all formalities around their takeover of Everton FC and the women’s team now have some money to spend in order to drag themselves away from the WSL relegation scrap.
Kuhl has only played 21 minutes so far this season across the WSL and the UWCL and couldn’t get into the team even when Lia Walti and Kim Little were both unavailable. Our understanding was always, unsurprisingly, that Kuhl would leave the club in January. Her agent visited the Sobha Realty Training Centre in November and while we don’t know exactly what those discussions were about, we rather doubt it was to discuss a new contract.
BBC Sport’s Emma Sanders is reporting that the Toffees, who had Kuhl on loan for the second half of last season and whose coach Brian Sorensen coached Kuhl at FC Nordsjælland, are readying a bid. Given her lack of game time and the size of the offer, it is difficult to believe that Arsenal would stand in her way if she wanted to reignite her career on Merseyside.
I hope it works out because it would be a great deal all round. KK would be working with a manager who values her and playing in a squad in which she has a role. Everton get what they want, we get £100k.
As long as we don’t spend it on Keira Walsh… (Great player, not what we need.)
Totally agree. Ke is too good to be cooling her heels, and Walsh is not an Arsenal-ey player
Yes good luck on Merseyside KK. Technically gifted but not really what we need. As for Walsh, I wouldn’t pay £10 never mind multiples of a thousand!
