Spurs Must Be Ice Cold In The Summer And Sign Chilwell
Things seem to get worse for Spurs as time goes on, with their poor run of form continuing from last season into this. Their Champions League adventure which saw them lose in the final to Liverpool perhaps masked what had been a troubled backend to the 18/19 campaign, and 19/20 isn’t going any better. There is no doubt the club’s supporters will be hoping for an upturn in player performances as well as results. And what will give everyone comfort is that most pundits agree with online betting operators in the UK that Spurs will finish in the Top 4.
Spurs undoubtedly have quality within their ranks, but an area which has been problematic for several seasons now is at full-back. The left-back slot, currently occupied by Danny Rose, is one people immediately point to as being an issue. And after Rose’s horror showing against Liverpool last time out, it again raises the question as to whether he’s still up to the job.
While manager Mauricio Pochettino can call on Ben Davies as well as Rose, neither have proven their worth when Spurs need them the most, and that’s why they should target Leicester City and England star Ben Chilwell in the summer. Chilwell, 22, has been on the Spurs radar previously, and the Bedford born ace is going from strength to strength with the Foxes. However, he has been tipped with a move away recently, with Manchester United said to be his preferred choice, so there is a chance Spurs could step in and make a move.
Leicester are flying this season under Brendan Rodgers, and some are thinking, more likely to finish in the top four than Spurs are. But if Daniel Levy was to loosen the purse strings and Pochettino was to overhaul his underperforming squad, it could be a project too good to turn down for Chilwell. The nine-time England cap is doing battle with Liverpool’s Andy Robertson to be the Premier League’s top left-back, and at 22 years old, he’s only going to get better.
Rodgers and Leicester would be against letting Chilwell leave, especially if they manage to secure Champions League football for next season, but if the money was right and the player expressed a desire to move on, it’s doubtful they would stand in his way. As things stand, Leicester are seemingly preparing for the worst case scenario as they look to accelerate Luke Thomas’ journey into the first team picture. Thomas, 18, has come through the Leicester City youth system, just like Chilwell, and stepped up from the U18s this summer to play with the U23s.
Signing Chilwell would be a significant statement of intent by Spurs, Pochettino and Levy, and it would give their fans the belief that the club is trying to progress once again. If Chilwell was to move on this summer and Spurs don’t enter the race to sign him, questions will once again arise where recruitment is concerned.
It’s highly likely that Danny Rose will move on this summer, with the former Leeds man on the verge of joining Watford in the summer just gone, but the deal fell through at the eleventh hour.
Tottenham Hotspur Women have secured Norway international goalkeeper Selma Panengstuen from Norwegian champions SK Brann.
The 23-year-old arrives at Spurs after impressing domestically with back-to-back strong seasons including 18 clean sheets across 27 league appearances for Brann during 2025-26.
Panengstuen made her senior international debut in June 2025 against Sweden and has established herself as a genuine prospect within Norwegian football. This season she kept eight clean sheets in 11 league games while making her Champions League debut, helping Brann secure victory against Manchester United at home.
Panengstuen Brings Proven Foundation and Ceiling
Head Coach Martin Ho praised Panengstuen’s outstanding potential combined with already strong fundamental foundations. The Norwegian goalkeeper brings presence, bravery and personality alongside ball-playing capability, providing the qualities Spurs value in modern goalkeeping including shot-stopping ability, communication and athleticism.
Ho highlighted Panengstuen’s mentality and drive to improve consistently, describing her as someone possessing genuine high ceiling development potential. Her previous experience under Ho at club level provides familiarity and understanding of what Tottenham require in modern goalkeeping.
Spurs Strengthen Squad Depth and Future Planning
Panengstuen expressed genuine excitement about joining Spurs, describing the club’s upward trajectory as genuinely compelling. She referenced friendships within the squad providing positive impressions while demonstrating commitment to maximizing her talent at Tottenham.
This signing feels genuinely forward-thinking rather than reactive. Panengstuen arrives established yet still developing, combining immediate quality with significant upside potential. Spurs continue building intelligently across multiple positions with purpose rather than desperation, suggesting genuine competitive intent moving forward.

Ipswich Town Women have completed the permanent signing of forward Kit Graham on a two-year contract following her release by Tottenham Hotspur. The 30-year-old joined Ipswich on loan in January 2026 and made an immediate impression, scoring twice in 10 appearances to help the club secure their WSL 2 status for a second consecutive season.
Graham’s two goals came in the same match, both long-range strikes in a 3-0 victory over Birmingham City that proved crucial to Town’s survival push. Her contributions on and off the pitch left Sean Burt and his coaching staff in no doubt that making the deal permanent was the right call.
Six Years at Tottenham Come to an End
Graham’s Tottenham chapter spanned six years and 91 appearances across all competitions, delivering 11 goals for the Lilywhites. She was part of the club’s historic debut WSL season in 2019-20 and played in all five matches of their remarkable 2023-24 FA Cup Final run.
However, two ACL injuries in successive seasons disrupted her Spurs career significantly. She suffered the second devastating blow during pre-season training ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, only returning to full training in the summer of 2025 before joining Ipswich in January.
Building Blocks in Ipswich
The permanent move arrives at a pivotal moment for Ipswich, who are actively shaping their squad ahead of the 2026-27 WSL 2 campaign. Graham becomes the third player to commit to the project this summer, following captain Maria Boswell and midfielder Leah Mitchell, who both recently extended their contracts. The club also appointed Matt Pooley as assistant manager, adding further experience to the technical setup.
Technical Director Sean Burt made clear that Graham’s influence extended well beyond her goal contributions, praising her professionalism and the impact she had on the group throughout her loan spell.

Tottenham Sign Arsenal Midfielder Victoria Pelova on Free Transfer as Fourth Summer Addition
Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Dutch midfielder Victoria Pelova from Arsenal on a free transfer. The 27-year-old joins Spurs following the expiry of her contract with the Gunners, where she spent three and a half years competing at the highest level.
Pelova arrives at Tottenham with an impressive trophy haul accumulated during her Arsenal tenure. The midfielder won the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, UEFA Women’s Champions League and two Subway Women’s League Cups during her stint in north London, making 89 appearances across all competitions and scoring six goals.
Pelova Brings International Pedigree
The Dutch international brings considerable experience to Tottenham’s midfield after earning 71 caps for The Netherlands and scoring seven international goals. Her transition from Arsenal represents a significant addition to Martin Ho’s squad as the club continue building depth across their midfield options.
Pelova expressed satisfaction with her move, highlighting her positive conversations with manager Ho and the immediate sense that Tottenham represented the right choice for her career progression. She expressed eagerness to begin the forthcoming season and integrate with the squad during pre-season preparations.
Spurs Continue Ambitious Summer Recruitment
Pelova becomes Tottenham’s fourth summer signing alongside Shekiera Martinez, Caitlin Dijkstra and Kirsty Hanson. The Lilywhites have been active throughout the transfer window, securing most of their desired acquisitions ahead of the close season.
The midfield reinforcement strengthens Spurs’ options following a successful 2025-26 campaign where the club finished fifth in the table under Ho’s management.
