Overview
- Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-2 after extra time in the FA Cup semi-final, with Khadija Shaw scoring the late equaliser and the winner at Stamford Bridge.
- The win sends City to the May 31 final at Wembley against Brighton, putting fresh focus on Shaw’s form and value.
- Reports from The Athletic and The Guardian link her with Chelsea, including a reported offer of at least £1 million a year and claims talks with City stalled over contract length, though no move is confirmed.
- Chelsea’s need at center forward has been acute due to injuries to Mayra Ramirez and Aggie Beever-Jones, and manager Sonia Bompastor said Shaw would be on any coach’s wish list.
- Since arriving in 2021, Shaw has led the WSL in expected goals and goals per 90 and won two Golden Boots, as City manager Andree Jeglertz praised her relentlessness and noted squad plans will be clarified by July.
