Tottenham Hotspur have strengthened their squad with the signings of Shekiera Martinez and Kirsty Hanson. Martinez, who joined from an unnamed club, is an exciting addition to Spurs' spine, is hugely consistent and is in her prime. Hanson, on the other hand, has joined from Aston Villa, having finished as the third-highest goalscorer in the WSL last season.
The signings come as part of Tottenham's ambitious recruitment strategy, which has seen the club secure their top five targets early in the window. The club's manager, Martin Ho, has been praised for his careful and thoughtful approach to squad development, which has earned him a lot of loyalty and respect from the players.
Tottenham will continue to play their home games at Leyton Orient's Brisbane Road, with select showpiece fixtures at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The first of those will be on 25 October when they host Arsenal.
The signings of Martinez and Hanson are expected to boost Tottenham's chances of pushing into the top four in the upcoming season. However, the club's matchday revenue was down from £513,000 to £433,000 in the year ending June 2025, and there will be a desire to get more people watching to help offset some of the increased investment.
