Why Spurs' under-the-radar buy might be summer's smartest deal
Why Kirsty Hanson's move from Aston Villa to Tottenham could be the key transfer of the Women's Super League summer.
Tottenham's unassuming acquisition of striker Kirsty Hanson from Aston Villa may prove to be one of the most astute moves of the summer. The 28-year-old Scotland international netted twice in Tottenham's 3-1 victory over West Ham, demonstrating her potential to elevate the team. Scored by Hanson in her debut, the goals showcased her clinical finishing and ability to perform under pressure.
With a stellar four-year stint at Villa, Hanson surpassed 30 goals in her previous season, becoming the third-highest scorer in the Women's Super League. Her transfer to Tottenham, backed by ambitious manager Martin Ho, underscores the club's commitment to success and could propel them further up the league standings.
