Olivia Holdt has emerged as a key performer for Tottenham in the Women's Super League, helping the club build on foundations laid under manager Martin Ho. Joining in January 2025 under former boss Robert Vilahamn, she was praised for her 'X-factor' and potential to be among the league's best. Holdt opened the season with a hat-trick in a 7-0 win over Crystal Palace, describing it as 'special'.
Tottenham currently sit second in the WSL, three points behind Manchester City and one point ahead of upcoming opponents London City. Holdt acknowledged the challenge posed by London City's strong squad but expressed confidence in her team's form. She emphasized that their early success is deserved due to strong performances.
Looking ahead, Holdt highlighted the importance of upcoming matches against Chelsea and Arsenal after the international break, calling them a 'level up' test to gauge Tottenham's title credentials. She noted the team has scored the most league goals (15) and conceded only twice, playing quick, attacking football. Holdt believes facing top sides will show where they stand and help them compete at the highest level, citing mutual respect with Ho as a factor in her consistency.
