Arsenal midfielder secures Women's Super League loan switch

Talented 19-year-old Laila Harbert has swapped North London for Merseyside




Arsenal midfielder Laila Harbert will spend the remainder of the 2025/26 season on loan.

The 19-year-old has joined Women's Super League side Everton, having spent the first half of the campaign with Portland Thorns in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

Harbert came through Arsenal's academy and also had loan spells with Watford and Southampton.

“One of the main reasons for coming is the potential to develop," said the England Under-23 international. "It is really attractive for young players to grow as a player and a person. Brian gives young players that opportunity. Hopefully, I can take that now."

The Toffees are 10th in the WSL, a point above bottom side Liverpool, and are yet to pick up a point at home in the league.
