Tottenham sign Sweden defender Wijk

Hanna Wijk, a BK Hacken defender, has been signed by Tottenham Hotspur on a long-term deal with no obligation to international clearance or work authorization.

After agreeing a deal with Norway winger Signe Gaupset in November, the 22-year-old becomes Martin Ho’s side’s second signing of the transfer window.

The Swedish full-back has played for Hacken since she was 16 years old, making 107 appearances overall since making her debut in 2020. She has one cap.

Wijk said, “It feels great to be here, and I had goosebumps when I put on the shirt.”

“It has always been my dream to relocate from Sweden and play in this league.”

I’m really looking forward to playing for both Spurs and the league because I enjoy it so much from home.

“We are delighted that Hanna chose Tottenham Hotspur as the club for the next stage of her career,” said head coach Ho, adding that “the market was very in demand for her.”

We are confident that she will continue to advance with us while assisting in raising the group’s competitive standards. “Her choice speaks to the ambition of the project and the clarity of the pathway we are offering.
