• No deal on table for left-back after respectful discussions

• Arsenal in talks to sign Barcelona full-back Ona Batlle

Katie McCabe is likely to leave Arsenal when her contract expires this summer, with no new deal on the table after what sources have described as “very respectful discussions” about her future.

Arsenal regard McCabe as a club legend, the left-back having been there for just over 10 years and helped them become world and European champions, but they plan to refresh this summer with younger players.
