Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Olga Ahtinen has committed her future to the club by signing a new long-term contract. The Finnish international, now 28, is set to extend her stay in North London after joining from Linköpings FC in the summer of 2023.
Since arriving at Spurs, Ahtinen has been a consistent presence in the midfield, making 55 appearances across all competitions and scoring three goals. Her contributions helped the Lilywhites reach the Adobe Women's FA Cup final in the 2023/2024 season, a testament to her growing influence in the squad.
Reflecting on her new deal, Ahtinen expressed her excitement about the team's trajectory: "I'm happy that I get to be a part of the journey that we're on. This season we've really taken steps in the way we play, our day-to-day life has been good and challenging, it's been the right place for me to become a better footballer."
She added, "The things that we're doing on a daily basis really show that we're going to be able to compete. We just want to get better every day."
As Ahtinen gears up for her third season with Spurs, the team will look to build on their progress when they face Brighton & Hove Albion in a Barclays Women's Super League fixture this Saturday afternoon. For fans, this signing signals a strong vote of confidence in the club's vision and a player ready to help lead the charge.
