Tottenham Hotspur are making a bold move in the summer transfer window, setting their sights on Aston Villa's dynamic forward Kirsty Hanson. The Scotland international has been a standout performer in the Women's Super League this season, ranking as the second-highest scorer with an impressive 12 goals and one assist in 21 matches.
Hanson's potential move to North London comes with a familiar connection—she previously worked with Spurs manager Martin Ho during his tenure as assistant coach at Manchester United. That prior relationship could prove pivotal as Tottenham look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
The 28-year-old forward, who signed a contract extension with Aston Villa last year that ties her to the club until June 2027, has been a consistent threat in the WSL. Over her time at Villa Park, she has netted 18 goals in 71 appearances, showcasing her ability to deliver in crucial moments.
Spurs boss Ho hinted at an active transfer window, stating on Thursday that "numerous signings have been made" already, with a focus on adding depth and experience to his squad. Hanson would certainly fit that bill, bringing both proven goal-scoring prowess and international pedigree from her time with Scotland.
Before any potential move, Hanson will have one final chance to add to her tally this season when Aston Villa face London City Lionesses in the WSL's season finale on Saturday (13:00 BST). It's a match that could serve as a fitting showcase for a player who has been one of the league's brightest stars this term.
