Tottenham Hotspur Women have secured a major piece of their future, as midfielder Olga Ahtinen has put pen to paper on a new long-term contract. The 28-year-old Finland international, who joined the club in 2023, has quickly become a vital cog in the midfield, amassing 55 appearances across all competitions and chipping in with three goals.
Ahtinen’s journey at Spurs has been one of resilience and growth. After a challenging knee injury sidelined her for three months between November 2023 and January 2024, she battled back to help the squad reach the FA Cup final—a testament to her grit and determination. Under the guidance of manager Martin Ho, who took the helm last summer, Ahtinen has featured 19 times this season, showcasing her importance in the team's evolving style of play.
Speaking on her new deal, Ahtinen expressed her excitement about the club's trajectory: "I'm happy that I get to be a part of the journey that we're on. This season we've taken steps in the way we play. Our day-to-day life has been good and challenging. It's the right place for me to become a better footballer."
With a clear vision for the future, Ahtinen 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." For Tottenham fans, this commitment signals a bright horizon as the club continues to build a competitive squad ready to challenge on all fronts. Whether you're cheering from the stands or repping her kit on the pitch, Ahtinen's extension is a win for the Spurs community.
