Kirsty Hanson scored twice in Tottenham's 3-1 victory over West Ham on Sunday, proving why manager Martin Ho made her his top priority this summer. The 28-year-old Scotland international netted both goals with clinical finishing, including a curling strike into the far corner with 16 minutes remaining to seal the win.
A Proven Goalscorer Joins an Ambitious Side
Hanson finished as the third-highest scorer in the Women's Super League last season with 12 goals in 22 matches, trailing only Khadija Shaw and Alessia Russo. She had previously scored 26 goals in 100 appearances for Aston Villa, where she also won two player-of-the-season awards. Her transfer to Tottenham came after she worked with Martin Ho as an assistant coach at Manchester United between 2020 and 2023.
The 28-year-old expressed gratitude for her time at Villa, saying she left on good terms and really enjoyed her experience there. She noted that Ho's appointment as Spurs manager was a significant statement, calling him one of the best coaches she has worked with. Hanson said she needed a challenge and was excited to be pushed to her limits during pre-season training.
Spurs Aim to Break into the Top Three
Tottenham finished fifth in the WSL last season and are targeting a top-three finish to qualify for the Women's Champions League. Alongside Hanson, the club signed Shekiera Martinez, Alice Sombath, and Victoria Pelova this summer, creating fierce competition for starting spots. Hanson is relishing the challenge and said she is here to improve herself and help others develop.
Hanson's impact was immediate, with her 43% goal contribution rate for Villa last season and a 50% shots-on-target ratio among the top-five scorers. She created 16 chances, more than only two of her teammates, and was among the top performers in defensive actions. Her work rate and maturity off the pitch, including a degree in sports coaching, make her a complete player for Spurs' ambitions.
Hanson's Own Words on Her New Chapter
Hanson described herself as comfortable in the WSL but not yet among the best, saying she is very critical of herself and has many levels to reach. She emphasized her hunger and fight, stating she would literally run through a brick wall for her team. Her dedication and desire to improve were evident in her first match for Spurs.
Looking ahead, Hanson said she is excited to learn from her new teammates and help others grow. She acknowledged that training has been tough but said it is exactly what she needed. Her journey from struggling for game time at Manchester United to becoming a key player at Villa and now Spurs shows her resilience and determination.
