The women's January 2026 transfer window across the world's top six leagues recorded 194 deals with a total reported value of £1.7m, the Guardian's interactive list shows; Arsenal's transfer balance is listed as £0.

The list includes moves such as Martha Thomas on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Liverpool, Denise O'Sullivan from North Carolina Courage to Liverpool for an undisclosed fee, Ellen Wangerheim from Hammarby to Manchester United (undisclosed), and Rachel Williams from Manchester United to Leicester City, with Williams saying: 'I started my career here and I've always said I'd like to come back'. It also notes Emilia Szymczak's loan to Barcelona ended after a shoulder injury on international duty and Michelle Agyemang's return to Arsenal as a loan ended while she continues rehabilitation from an ACL injury.
