Tottenham Hotspur Women have completed the signing of Kirsty Hanson from Aston Villa, bolstering their attacking options ahead of the new Women’s Super League season. The 28-year-old forward joins Spurs after a standout campaign where she netted 12 goals in 22 appearances, making her the third-highest scorer in the league. Hanson’s addition comes as Tottenham look to build on their fifth-place finish last season, where they secured 36 points from 11 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses, finishing 19 points behind leaders Manchester City W.
Why Hanson is a key signing for Tottenham
Hanson’s arrival is a significant coup for Tottenham Hotspur Women, who are aiming to push closer to the top four in the WSL. Last season, she contributed 43% of Aston Villa’s total goals, showcasing her ability to be a consistent threat in front of goal. Her experience and goal-scoring prowess will be vital as Spurs manager Martin Ho looks to strengthen the squad for the upcoming campaign. Hanson’s versatility and work rate make her a valuable addition to the team’s attacking lineup.
What Hanson brings to the team
With 12 goals in the WSL last season, Hanson has proven herself as one of the league’s most clinical finishers. Her ability to find the back of the net in crucial moments will be a major asset for Tottenham, who scored 35 goals and conceded 38 in the 2025 season. Hanson’s presence will not only add depth to the attacking options but also provide a much-needed boost in the final third. Her experience in the WSL will be invaluable as Tottenham aim to improve their recent form, which saw them end the season with a mixed run of results (WWDLL).
What’s next for Tottenham Hotspur Women
As Tottenham prepare for the new season, the signing of Hanson is a clear indication of their ambition to challenge the top teams in the WSL. With the transfer window still open, fans will be eager to see if more reinforcements will arrive to bolster the squad. The team’s focus will now shift to pre-season preparations, where Hanson’s integration into the squad will be a key priority. As they look to build on their fifth-place finish, Tottenham Hotspur Women are determined to make a stronger push for the top four in the upcoming campaign.
