It was a big week of transfer activity for our Matildas abroad, with Kyra Cooney-Cross landing a move to English giants Arsenal, while Clare Hunt was snapped up by French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain.

On the back of her impressive World Cup performances, Cooney-Cross secured her move to Arsenal from Swedish club Hammarby on a permanent deal.

Gunners head coach Jonas Eidevall said: “Kyra is one of the best young players in world football and we are delighted to have brought her to Arsenal.

“Her passing ability and explosiveness allow her to affect games in a way you rarely see from such a young player, so we firmly believe she will be an excellent addition to our midfield, now and in the future.”

💬 "I immediately had a really good feeling and thought it was the best decision. I trusted my gut."

Matildas centre-back Clare Hunt was outstanding during the World Cup and has penned a deal with PSG until June 30 2026, leaving A-League club Western Sydney Wanderers.

“I’m very happy to be joining Paris Saint-Germain,” Hunt said. “It was a personal goal of mine to play football outside Australia, and to join a very big club. I know I’m going to progress, and I can’t wait to get started.

“It’s a very big club, with its own identity and a great deal of success. I want to be able to be part of those ever-growing ambitions, and also bring something new to the team. As an Australian, I can bring other things to the table, my own brand of football.”

In Sweden’s Damallsvenskan, Katrina Gorry scored Vittsjo’s opening goal on the hour as they triumphed 2-1 at Uppsala.

Gorry swooped on a poor goalkeeper clearance, taking two touches in space before unleashing a long-range shot which flew on off the underside of the crossbar.

Gorry, Clare Polkinghorne and Charlotte Grant all played full games for Vittsjo.
