Arsenal Women are reportedly considering offering Katie McCabe a new contract, despite earlier expectations that she would leave the club this summer.
McCabe’s current deal expires at the end of the season, and reports had suggested the Ireland captain was preparing to leave on a free transfer, with Manchester City Women linked as a possible destination.
Back in March, McCabe admitted there had already been interest from other clubs.
“Yes, there’s been interest,” she said.
“The Arsenal fans know how committed I am to them and to the club. I think I’ve shown that over the last 10 years. I’ve given absolutely everything.”
However, Arsenal are now believed to be reconsidering their position after McCabe’s performances this season. Her versatility and consistency have reportedly impressed key figures at the club, especially after filling in at centre-back while continuing to perform strongly at left-back.
McCabe joined Arsenal from Shelbourne in 2015 and has become one of the club’s most important players over the last decade. She has made more than 200 appearances and helped Arsenal win the Women’s Super League, FA Cup, League Cup and Women’s Champions League.
For now, McCabe’s future remains undecided, but a stay in north London now appears more possible than it did a few months ago.
