Tottenham Women have completed the signing of Norway international Signe Gaupset for a club-record fee of £378,000. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder will join Tottenham on January 1 from Norwegian club SK Brann, where she played under Spurs head coach Martin Ho from summer 2023 until he moved to north London in July this year. Gaupset, a Norway international, was named player of the year in the Norwegian top flight this season after scoring 15 goals and registering 14 assists in 26 appearances to help Brann to their second league title. Martin Ho said Gaupset's professionalism, ambition, and personality would bolster Spurs' squad, and believes she is an eye-catching addition for the WSL club. Securing Gaupset's signature is a significant statement of intent from Tottenham Women, demonstrating their commitment to building a strong squad. The signing reflects the increasingly obvious coup that was securing Ho as manager, who worked with Gaupset during her time at Norway. Gaupset's decision to re-join her former manager is the latest indication of Ho's merits as a talent-developer. For Gaupset, opting for some familiarity after making the leap to an unfamiliar city and league is a smart one, likely to help quickly integrate her into the team and the WSL. Gaupset's talent is known but her ceiling is not, and she can play in midfield and out wide, something that will only bode well for Spurs as they look to improve in the final third. The signing of Gaupset is the third time this season that Spurs have broken their transfer record, having committed to landmark fees for Toko Koga and Cathinka Tandberg over the summer.
