Tottenham Hotspur Secures Rising Star Toko Koga: A New Era in Women's Football

Tottenham Hotspur signs young Japanese defender Toko Koga, aiming to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Women's Super League season.

Tottenham Hotspur has made a significant move in the transfer market by signing Toko Koga, a promising teenage defender from Japan. The 19-year-old has agreed to a long-term contract with the club, extending until June 2029, and will don the number 32 shirt.

Koga, who joined Feyenoord in January 2024, quickly made her mark in the Dutch top flight at just 18 years old. Her impressive performances have earned her 19 international caps, and she notably scored the winning goal for Japan against the United States in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup, managed by former Chelsea boss Emma Hayes.

This acquisition comes at a crucial time for Tottenham, who finished 11th in the Women's Super League in the 2024-25 season. The club recently parted ways with head coach Robert Vilahamn after two years in charge. Reports suggest that Martin Ho, the head coach of Norwegian side SK Brann and a former assistant at Everton and Manchester United, is set to take the helm.

With Koga's arrival, Tottenham aims to bolster their defensive lineup and improve their standings in the league. Fans are eagerly anticipating how this young talent will contribute to the team's future success.
