It is clear from Tottenham's summer transfer business that they have big ambitions in the Women's Super League next season.
Martin Ho's side have strengthened in the market, building a squad that, on paper, could cause a stir among the league's top clubs.
They finished fifth in the WSL last season - a significant improvement on the year before when they flirted with relegation.
Tottenham broke their club-record signing this summer to bring in France defender Alice Sombath from Lyon, having spent around £375,000 on Signe Gaupset in January.
They also signed forwards Shekiera Martinez and Kirsty Hanson, defender Caitlin Dijkstra, midfielder Victoria Pelova and goalkeeper Selma Panengstuen.

The WNBA's momentum, which started gaining steam with Caitlin Clark's arrival in the 2024 draft, has been unstoppable. Heading into the 2026 season, ESPN's VP of women's sports programming and espnW, Susie Piotrkowski, spoke about the network's view of Clark as a "gateway drug" into women's sports.
"If that brought you in, I'm going to keep you here," Piotrkowski said.
Through the first half of the season, she, along with the WNBA's other media partners in its new 11-year, $2.2 billion media deal, have delivered. The league held its 2026 All-Star Weekend in Chicago over the weekend, and per a report from Austin Karp at Sports Business Journal, WNBA telecasts are up 12% compared to last season at the All-Star Break across its rights partners.
To Piotrkowski's credit, Clark has certainly been the biggest driver of that success, as the top seven broadcasts in the first half of the season all involved her Indiana Fever. Indiana's win over the New York Liberty on July 18, which averaged 2.58 million viewers, was the most-watched WNBA telecast ever on CBS, and the second-most-watched WNBA game this season, behind only Fever-Las Vegas Aces (2.64 million) on NBC and Peacock on July 12.
Unsurprisingly, Clark's ratings impact was also felt over All-Star Weekend.

Indiana Fever fans have long admired Caitlin Clark and Flau'jae Johnson's relationship. Clark and Johnson have maintained their dynamic despite their battles in college. On Tuesday, Clark's gesture towards Johnson after the Indiana Fever's 105-95 win against the Seattle Storm won everyone's hearts.
The superstar guard seemingly asked Johnson to keep her chin up after a rough game. The rookie finished with 16 points, but shot a measly 26.7% from the field and was 0-for-6 from long distance. Johnson's night also wrapped up slightly early after she committed her sixth foul on Clark with 1:15 left in the game.
Here's the video of Clark and Johnson's postgame embrace:
After seeing Clark's gesture, several Fever fans dropped heartfelt comments on her relationship with Johnson.
"You shoulda been a fever four I'm sorry, I'll never forgive you Amber," one fan said.

In Tuesday night's Indiana Fever win over the Seattle Storm, Caitlin Clark was on one. Clark tallied 32 points on 9-14 shooting to go along with 7 ****** ists and 4 rebounds, and the Fever improved to 18-10 on the season.
Amid the usual litany of off-court storylines, it's been a superb on-court season for the Fever star.
Clark is averaging 21.5 points per game, the third-most in the league, and 7.9 ****** ists per game, the second-most in the league. (In other words, no single player creates more on offense than she does).
She's also quietly upped her efficiency — in her rookie season (in which she was named to the All-WNBA First Team), she shot 41.7% from the field and 34.4% from three. In her sophomore season (in which she appeared in just 13 games due to a myriad of injuries), she shot worse, hitting 36.7% of her shot attempts and 27.9% of her threes.
And, this year, she's shooting 44.3% from the field and 35.4% from three, both career-highs. While turnovers continue to be an Achilles heel, she's averaging fewer per game this year (4.7) than in her rookie campaign (5.6).

After several years as one of ESPN's most visible personalities, hosting the 6 p.m. SportsCenter and anchoring WNBA Finals coverage, Elle Duncan departed the Worldwide Leader to become the face of Netflix's growing sports venture. She's also been tabbed to lead USA Network's studio coverage for its WNBA broadcasts.
On Monday, Duncan appeared on The Sports Gossip Show podcast and discussed the ever-prevalent and increasingly bizarre coverage surrounding Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark. Over the 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend, Clark sat down with ESPN's Malika Andrews and discussed how "emotionally exhausting" the constant coverage surrounding her can be.
"I feel like media and journalism have a responsibility to tell the stories," Clark told Andrews, "and a lot of the time you guys are the ones controlling the narratives about what people read and what people talk about. And a lot of that is sometimes so far out of touch with what is reality."
Although Duncan doesn't believe Clark is at fault for how far out of control things have spun, she wants to see the three-time All-Star take more ownership of the situation.
"I would love for it to be very clear to the people who think they are her fans but are using her, if she would say, 'stop that sh*t, I don't want it, I'm tired of it.' As opposed to what we've seen, which is 'the media makes up these narratives, the media makes up this discourse.'

Michaela Walsh delivered a punch-perfect display to guarantee herself at least bronze, dominating Scotland's Lara Brown in their featherweight quarter-final, but Caitlin Fryers bowed out in the flyweight division.
The defending Commonwealth Games champion put on an exhibition of counter-punching to win every round on all five cards, sweeping into Friday's semi-final where she will face Fiji's Jasmine Daunakamakama.
It is Walsh's fourth Commonwealth Games and the Holy Family fighter has now medalled in each, winning gold four years ago with silvers in 2018 and 2014.
However, it's performance rather than podium which is driving the 33-year-old this time.
"Medals don't define happiness," Walsh told BBC Sport NI.

WNBA makes final decision on Caitlin Clark technical foul appeal originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Caitlin Clark will have to remain on her best behavior for the rest of the WNBA regular season.
The Indiana Fever appealed the technical foul Clark received during their 123-88 victory over the Connecticut Sun on July 22, hoping the league would remove it from her season total. However, the WNBA reportedly denied that appeal, leaving Clark with seven technical fouls and only one more separating her from an automatic one-game suspension.
"The WNBA will not rescind the technical foul ****** sed to Caitlin Clark during last Wednesday's win over the Connecticut Sun, a league source confirmed to IndyStar," Brian Haenchen of the Indianapolis Star reported.
Clark avoided another technical during Indiana's 103-93 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday. Still, the league's decision means the threat of a suspension will follow the Fever star into every remaining game of the regular season.

SEATTLE (AP) — Caitlin Clark scored 32 points, Kelsey Mitchell added 28 and the Indiana Fever won their fourth straight game, beating the Seattle Storm 105-95 on Tuesday night.
Clark and Mitchell took over for Indiana (18-10) after Aliyah Boston took a hard fall and had to exit in the second quarter with a lower-leg injury. Boston had 11 points and did not return, but wasn't ruled out.
Clark went 9 for 14 with four 3-pointers, made all 10 of her free throws and added seven ****** ists. It was the ninth time she has scored 30-plus points with five-plus ****** ists. It has happened only eight other times in the team's history.
Mitchell has scored 20-plus points for a franchise-record 12th straight game, tied for the third-longest streak in league history.
Monique Billings had 14 points and 11 rebounds to help Indiana top 100 points for a league-record 12th time this season. Sophie Cunningham scored 11.

Aliyah Boston's strong start against the Seattle Storm came to a sudden and concerning end Tuesday night.
The Indiana Fever center left the game during the second quarter after crashing hard to the floor at Climate Pledge Arena. Boston landed directly on her right knee and immediately reached for the injured area as teammates and members of Indiana's training staff rushed over to check on her.
Boston was eventually helped to her feet and taken to the locker room. Although the Fever initially listed her as questionable to return, she did not check back into Indiana's 103-93 victory. The scene was especially troubling because Boston has already battled a lower right leg injury this season. She played only five minutes in Saturday's WNBA All-Star Game, giving her additional time to rest before the Fever resumed their regular-season schedule.
Boston was injured midway through the second quarter while running a pick-and-roll with Caitlin Clark. After setting a screen, Boston rolled toward the basket and appeared to get tangled up with Storm rookie Flau'jae Johnson. Her momentum carried her forward, and her right knee absorbed much of the impact when she hit the court.

"AB is just AB," Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said during a halftime interview with ESPN. "She's an All-Star. She's one-of-a-kind. She's gonna be a hall of famer one day. So that's a load for all of us to try and pick up. We're trying to keep the energy, keep the vibes high. We're gonna be OK. I think AB's gonna be OK, too. But we have to focus on this game. We need to get it for her."

Caitlin Clark is facing criticism after the WNBA star made pointed statements regarding media narratives amid the negativity she and her fellow athletes face.
The Indiana Fever guard, 24, has "room for a little bit more accountability" when it comes to online scrutiny against female players in the league, Monica McNutt said during the network's live broadcast on Sunday, July 26, per People.
"This is what I will say: Caitlin Clark is 24, she is a shining star in the galaxy of the WNBA, but I do think that as she continues to matriculate through this league, there's room for a little bit more accountability and self awareness in terms of her role in the larger sisterhood, if she sees it that way, in the WNBA," McNutt continued during the ESPN broadcast.

McNutt's comments come on the heels of Clark, 24, speaking with journalist Malika Andrews in an interview during WNBA All-Star Weekend, in which she admitted, "I think there's like a false characterization of who I am sometimes."

The WNBA All-Star Game is a testament to player talents and fan cultures. It's also a good measure of this league's ongoing evolution.
In its first season, the brand-new WNBA didn't even have an All-Star celebration. A decade after that, both All-Star coaches hailed from franchises soon to be relocated or disbanded. Two decades after inauguration, Maya Moore led the field with around 33,000 fan votes. Now cut to 2026, when both Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark exceeded the 1 million mark.
This year's All-Star Game shows how much the W has going for it right now. Bueckers, Clark, Olivia Miles, Dominique Malonga and Angel Reese lead the next generation into the spotlight. They're joined by enduring superstars like A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. Gabby Williams highlights the instant success of the Golden State Valkyries, and Marina Mabrey gets love on behalf of one of this year's expansion teams, the Toronto Tempo. There are twerking mascots and blue-haired goofballs for those with eyes to see them.
Here's what to know ahead of the main event. All times listed are ET.

The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game is likely experiencing the Caitlin Clark effect as the Indiana Fever star point guard is expected to take the floor on Saturday night in Chicago as the captain of Team Weatherspoon.
Over the past seven days, the average sale price on the secondary ticketing platform SeatGeek is $425. That's about 35% higher than at the same point ahead of last year's game, according to data provided to me by the company.
Clark, who is the 11th highest-paid female athlete per Forbes, missed the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game due to a groin injury.
The Des Moines, Iowa native is currently averaging 21 points and nearly eight ****** ists per game during the current regular season. The Fever are first in the Eastern Conference with a 17-10 record.

No, Caitlin Clark is not in the 2026 WNBA 3-point contest.
The Indiana Fever star was not among the participants the league announced Tuesday, July 21 for Friday's contest at All-Star weekend in Chicago. Clark declined her invitation, USA TODAY first reported. No reason was given.
Clark was not the only player to decline. Minnesota's Kayla McBride also turned down an invitation, according to ESPN.
Reigning champion Sabrina Ionescu is also not taking part, saying she was not invited. The New York Liberty star's 37-point round remains the highest score in the event's history, including the NBA version.
Clark will still be in the main event on Saturday, July 25. She drew 1,023,321 fan votes, second-most in the league, and will captain Team Spoon, named after Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon, in the All-Star Game at 8:30 p.m. ET at the United Center.
