Tottenham Hotspur Signs Signe Gaupset
Tottenham Hotspur has secured a deal to bring in Signe Gaupset, a talented attacking midfielder from SK Brann, during the January transfer window. At just 20 years old, Gaupset is recognized as one of the brightest emerging talents in women’s football. She made her impressive debut for Brann at the tender age of 16 and now returns to work with her former manager, Martin Ho, at the club’s north London base.
International Experience and Recognition
Recently, Gaupset had the opportunity to represent Norway on the international stage, making her official senior debut against Croatia in February 2024. Her standout performance at Euro 2025 this past summer included a remarkable two-goal match against Iceland, which led to her nomination for the esteemed Golden Girl Trophy, further solidifying her status as a rising star, despite Norway’s exit in the group stage.
Gaupset’s Thoughts on the Move
In a statement on the club’s website, Gaupset expressed enthusiasm about her move:
“In discussions with people at Tottenham, I felt a positive vibe about the project. This environment is ideal for my growth as a player, allowing me to improve and reach my full potential.”
She added her appreciation for Coach Martin Ho, stating:
“Knowing what he expects from me is beneficial. We had a productive relationship before, and his high standards are something I thrive under.”
Coach Ho’s Excitement
Coach Ho shared his excitement regarding Gaupset’s arrival:
“We are delighted to have Signe join Tottenham Hotspur. Not only is she an outstanding player, but she also brings a wonderful character that will enhance our squad’s dynamics. Her professionalism, ambition, and personality are vital as we continue to build our team.”
Gaupset’s Skill Set
Gaupset possesses a unique skill set that makes her not only inventive in possession but also explosive during duels. Her ability to create moments in one-on-one situations is complemented by her intelligence in linking plays and athleticism that drives the team forward. Ho emphasized:
“Signe’s qualities are perfectly aligned with the identity we aim to create and the style of play we want to implement. We are honored that she has chosen to join our project at Tottenham Hotspur Women, and we look forward to the immense contributions she will make to the team.”
