Norwegian international goalkeeper Selma Panengstuen says it is a "dream" move to join Women's Super League side Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur Women have announced the signing of Norwegian international goalkeeper Selma Panengstuen from SK Brann on a contract until 2027. The 24-year-old expressed her delight, calling the move a "dream come true" and expressing her eagerness to prove herself in the Women's Super League. Panengstuen established herself as a reliable shot-stopper at SK Brann, helping the team remain competitive in the Norwegian top flight. Her consistent performances and quick reflexes earned her a regular spot in the Norway women's national team. This transfer marks a significant step forward in her career. Tottenham's head coach stated that Panengstuen's arrival will bolster the team's defensive capabilities. Last season, Spurs finished mid-table in the WSL but struggled with defensive lapses.

The Norway women's national team coach believes that playing in a more competitive league will aid Panengstuen's development and benefit the national team. She is expected to play a key role in future international fixtures. Tottenham Women face tough competition in the upcoming season, including clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal. Panengstuen's signing injects fresh energy into the squad. Fans are eager to see her world-class saves and hope she can help the team achieve better results. With the transfer window closing, Tottenham's squad is largely set. Panengstuen will compete for the starting goalkeeper spot, and her adaptation and performances will determine her role. Regardless, this signing demonstrates Spurs' ambition to strengthen their women's team.
