Tottenham Hotspur have signed France defender Alice Sombath from Lyonnes for a club-record transfer, becoming the sixth new addition of the summer. The fee remains undisclosed, but reports indicate it surpasses the previous club record of around £375,000. Sombath, 22, rose from Paris Saint-Germain to Lyonnes, boasts Champions League experience and multiple domestic titles, and can operate at centre-back or right-back. Spurs manager Martin Ho praised her maturity and said she fits the club’s long-term project, highlighting her aggressive defending and comfort on the ball. Tottenham finished fifth in the Women's Super League last season, closing the gap to fourth but still well behind Manchester City, indicating the ambition behind strengthening the squad. Sombath herself said she is excited by the league’s competitiveness and eager to contribute to a strong Spurs team alongside their other early signings.
