The WSL transfer window officially opened on Monday, and the Toffees are wasting no time in bolstering their squad.Inma Gabarro, a 21-year-old midfielder, has been a key player for Sevilla since joining in 2018. She made her senior debut for Spain in 2022 and has since become a regular member of the national team. Gabarro’s impressive performances at the Under-20s World Cup in 2022, where she scored eight goals and won the golden boot, have made her a highly sought-after talent in the women’s football world.Toni Payne, a 29-year-old forward, has also been a vital player for Sevilla, featuring in all 30 of their Liga F fixtures in the 2023/24 season and scoring six goals.
