Crystal Palace looking to make a statement in WSL says Sharpe

Crystal Palace forward Molly-Mae Sharpe says the club wants to make a clear impact in the Barclays Women’s Super League after returning to the top tier following a one-season absence. The Eagles won seven of their final eight matches in WSL2 to secure promotion on the first attempt, carrying momentum into the 2026/2027 campaign. Sharpe points to the importance of keeping the core squad while making “big additions,” and stresses that results early in the season will matter, particularly in tight games where teams often settle for narrow margins. Palace kick off the new WSL season with a home match against Everton on Sunday.
