Aston Villa forward Kirsty Hanson is set to join Tottenham following an impressive season in the Women’s Super League.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Scotland international finished as the league’s third highest goalscorer with 12 goals in 22 matches – only Khadija Shaw and Alessia Russo scored more.<\/p>\n

Villa’s top scorer was named their player of the year and she scooped up WSL Football’s goal-of-the-season award<\/a> for her strike against West Ham.<\/p>\n

In May, BBC Sport reported<\/a> that Spurs were pursuing Hanson and it is now believed they have had a bid accepted by Villa and are set to bring her in this month.<\/p>\n

Personal terms are being finalised as Hanson – who has scored five goals in 44 Scotland appearances – prepares to join Tottenham in what will be another boost to Martin Ho’s squad.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old had a year remaining on her contract at Villa and it is unknown what fee Tottenham have agreed to sign her for.<\/p>\n

She will reunite with Spurs manager Ho, who she worked with at former club Manchester United while he was assistant coach.<\/p>\n

Tottenham had a strong campaign in 2025-26, finishing fifth in the table in Ho’s first season in charge after joining from SK Brann.<\/p>\n

They will be ambitious in the transfer window and have already secured the signings of West Ham forward Shekiera Martinez<\/a> and Dutch defender Caitlin Dijkstra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
