Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks to sign Aston Villa striker Kirsty Hanson this summer. The 28‑year‑old Scotland international sits second in the Women’s Super League scoring chart, having netted 12 goals and added an assist in 21 appearances. She previously worked with Spurs boss Martin Ho while he served as an assistant at Manchester United, giving the pair a familiar link.

Hanson extended her Villa deal last year, binding her until June 2027, so any move will require a substantial offer. In 71 games for Villa she has tallied 18 goals, a record that could rise in Saturday’s final WSL fixture against London City Lionesses. Her form provides Spurs with a proven scorer as they reshape the squad.

Ho told reporters Thursday that several signings are already completed and he hopes adding depth and experience will lift Spurs’ league standing. Securing Hanson would give the club a forward who combines goal‑scoring pedigree with familiarity with the manager’s style. Tottenham’s pursuit signals intent to challenge for a top‑four finish.

With the summer window fast approaching, Villa will likely demand a fee reflecting Hanson’s status as one of the league’s most prolific forwards. Should Tottenham meet the price, the signing could reshape their attacking options and provide a clear statement of ambition ahead of next season.
