Tottenham Hotspur Women, Lyon and Alice Sombath
Tuesday
Tottenham Women have signed France defender Alice Sombath from Lyon for a club-record fee before the new WSL campaign. The 22-year-old centre-back arrives after making more than 100 Lyon appearances and winning multiple French titles.
Sombath strengthens Martin Ho’s defence and becomes Spurs’ latest major summer addition after their strong WSL season. The fee beats their previous record, believed to be Signe Gaupset’s move worth more than £375,000.
