Everton Women have signed England U-23 international midfielder Laila Harbert on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season.
She has 41 caps across the Young Lionesses teams and made her debut for the U-23s against Germany in October 2025.
Recently on loan at Portland Thorns, she has also had spells with Watford and Southampton.
Harbert told evertontv: “Goodison Park is a big stadium – one that I think I will enjoy playing in. I have heard the fans are really good as well, so it will be nice to see them on Sunday.
“One of the main reasons for coming is the potential to develop. 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.”
