Tottenham Hotspur Women
Tottenham Women are on the verge of securing a record-breaking transfer deal for Norwegian international Signe Gaupset. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder is set to join the Lilywhites from SK Brann in a move worth around 5 million krone (£378k).
What happened?
The transfer fee will surpass the previous record of 2m krone paid by Manchester City for Julie Blakstad. Gaupset had been drawing interest from European giants like Lyon, Barcelona, and Real Madrid.
Why it matters for Tottenham Women
The signing of Gaupset represents a significant investment in the women's team, demonstrating the club's commitment to bringing high-potential players to the WSL. Gaupset's technical ability and goal-scoring record will be a massive addition to the squad.
What comes next?
The move will see Gaupset reunited with Tottenham women's head coach Martin Ho, who was instrumental in her development at Brann. As the current roster continues to adapt to Ho's attack-minded philosophy, Gaupset's signing will provide a significant boost to the team's WSL campaign.
