“I want to do my best here at Tottenham. I think the league is very competitive, every game is tough and that’s what I’m most excited about,” said Sombath.<\/p>\n
“I saw that Spurs had a very good season last year. My qualities can bring something to the team, even though I know they already have a lot.”<\/p>\n
Sombath came through Paris FC’s academy and joined Paris St-Germain’s youth team set-up before her move to Lyon in 2020.<\/p>\n
She can play at centre-back or right-back and has represented France at every age group from the under-16s to the senior squad.<\/p>\n
The defender featured in all of France’s matches at Euro 2025, starting three games in the group stages.<\/p>\n
“She’s a player we’ve followed closely for some time and one who fits the profile of what we’re building here,” said Tottenham manager Martin Ho. <\/p>\n
“She has already shown real maturity in her performances, and we believe she has all the qualities to continue developing into a top player within our environment.<\/p>\n
“Alice is an aggressive defender who is comfortable in possession, competitive in her duels, and has the ambition to keep improving every day. <\/p>\n
“This is another important addition as we continue building for the future. We can’t wait to get started with Alice and welcome her into the group.”<\/p>\n
Tottenham have been successful in the pursuit of their key targets during the transfer window, bringing in six additions including Sombath.<\/p>\n
They have also signed Shekeira Martinez<\/a>, Kirsty Hanson<\/a>, Victoria Pelova<\/a>, Caitlin Dijkstra<\/a> and Selma Panengstuen<\/a>, getting their business done early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I want to do my best here at Tottenham.
