Transfer window drama and the new challenges facing LGBTQ+ footballers

Chloe and Rachel react to big news on the eve of deadline day: Chelsea have put in a bid for Arsenal’s Katie McCabe! We discuss how likely the move is and Chloe explains what the January transfer window is really like for players.

With the start of Football vs Homophobia’s Month of Action on Wednesday, we also speak to its director Lou Englefield about the LGBTQ+ community’s great trailblazers in women’s football – right back to the 1920s – and the challenges facing trans women players today. For a grassroots perspective, we catch up with two players from the UK’s oldest out women’s football club, Hackney Women FC.
