Danish international midfielder Kathrine Kuhl completed a loan move to Everton Women for the remainder of the 2023/24 season, seeking increased playing time and continued development. The 20-year-old, who originally signed for Arsenal in January 2023, has struggled to secure regular first-team minutes this season, making just 24 appearances since joining the club.
Kuhl’s potential full-time transfer comes after limited opportunities at Arsenal, where she has played only 21 minutes across the Women’s Super League (WSL) and UEFA Women’s Champions League this season – and that’s with key midfielder, Victoria Pelova, out all season with an ACL injury.. The move is strategically important for her international aspirations, providing her with a platform to maintain her position in the Danish national team.
The transfer is particularly notable given that Everton’s Swedish manager, Brian Sorensen, previously coached Kuhl at FC Nordsjælland, where he gave her her professional debut at just 16 years old. This existing relationship provides additional confidence that Kuhl will receive substantial playing time.
While the exact financial details remain confidential, reports suggest Everton may be preparing a bid in the region of £100,000, reflecting Kuhl’s potential and the club’s commitment to strengthening their squad.
Now Everton’s takeover is complete, the women’s team hope to act on several transfer plans. Among them I’m told is a potential £100,000 bid for Arsenal’s Kathrine Kuhl. Arsenal rate Kuhl but appreciate she wants regular minutes. I’m told they’re open to loan & permanent offers.

I don’t know about you but this smacks of another young player being brought in under Jonas Eidevall and being completely mismanaged. A similar situation with Brazilian international Gio Queiroz happened as well – Gio is now back in the Brazil team and making waves and scoring lots of goals in the Spanish women’s league.
Whatever the reason, I do hope Kuhl is given the chance to shine..

I hope that she’s loaned out rather than sold. She looks a good prospect, and although her current chances are limited with the competition for midfield places, loaning her out will give us the option of watching her get more game time and gain more experience.
And by loaning her, if she progresses the way we hope. Then the options there to get her into our first team should the situation arise.
Like a lot of fans, to see an undoubtedly talented young player’s career stagnate is both sad and frustrating. However, when you have a squad of 25 it is inevitable that at least 10 are going to spend the vast majority of time bench warming. Even if they get as far as the bench.
Its all a matter of opinions and supporters’ opinions are normal based on little knowledge of real facts (as are media aggregators). It would seem that Ke’s future is now away from AWFC on the day another young player starts her professional career with the Club. Best wishes to both Ke Kuhl and Laila Harbert with their careers and happiness.
