Aston Villa forward Kirsty Hanson is reportedly set to join Tottenham Hotspur after a successful season in the Women's Super League. She was the league's third highest goalscorer and won player of the year for Villa. She previously worked with Tottenham manager Martin Ho at Manchester United.
Aston Villa forward Kirsty Hanson is set to join Tottenham following an impressive season in the Women's Super League.
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.
Villa's top scorer was named their player of the year and she scooped up WSL Football's goal-of-the-season award for her strike against West Ham.
In May, BBC Sport reported 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.
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.
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.
She will reunite with Spurs manager Ho, who she worked with at former club Manchester United while he was assistant coach.
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.
