Spurs' under-the-radar buy might be best business of summer
Why Kirsty Hanson's move from Aston Villa to Tottenham could be the key transfer of the Women's Super League summer.
Tottenham's acquisition of Scottish striker Kirsty Hanson from Aston Villa may be one of the most significant moves of the Women's Super League transfer window. The 28-year-old, who was the third-highest scorer in the WSL last season, joined the North London club for an undisclosed fee. Hanson, who had a stellar four-year spell at Aston Villa, left the club due to her desire to challenge herself and improve.
She praised Tottenham's ambitious manager Martin Ho, who played a key role in her transfer. Hanson believes Ho's detailed approach and challenging training regimen will help her reach new heights in her career. She is excited to learn from and contribute to the new-look Tottenham squad, which includes other high-profile signings like Shekiera Martinez, Alice Sombath, and Victoria Pelova.
