It would be a huge blow for the new Women’s Super League champions, who have been negotiating with the striker for several months.<\/p>\n

Former WSL champions Chelsea are understood to be among the clubs interested in signing the 29-year-old Jamaica international, the WSL’s leading scorer this season.<\/p>\n
