German forward Melissa Kössler, 25, is leaving TSG Hoffenheim to join a club in the U.S. National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).

On January 4, the Norwegian announced that she would not be wearing the Hammarby jersey next season, having moved there from Manchester City. At that moment, it was clear that her return to England was on the horizon.

Back in the fall, there was speculation that Smilla Holmberg, a 19-year-old Swedish star, would leave Hammarby, where she grew up as a player, to join Arsenal. On January 5, she became the club's first winter signing.

Chelsea has confirmed earlier speculation about the loan signing of young Japanese player Maika Hamano, who previously played on loan at Hammarby.

Do you miss the matches? We understand. Here is a list of when the leagues return after the winter break. 

The transfer window opened on Friday, and Liverpool has already made its first winter signing. She is 22-year-old Swedish player Alice Bergström, who comes from Häcken.

The new coach is 39-year-old Spaniard Eder Maestre. LCL will play their first match under his leadership on January 11.

Arsenal may be strengthened by another Lioness. Georgie Stanway's contract with Bayern is ending, and she may be heading home to England.
