Tottenham Hotspur Women have talked a lot about their ambition to compete at the very top of the Women’s Super League, but thus far their performances have not matched that ambition very closely. Today could be the start of a real push.
Spurs Women announced on social media and their website that eleven players have been released at the conclusion of their contracts, and will be seeking new opportunities in women’s football.
We can confirm the departures of Rianna Dean, Alanna Kennedy, Gemma Davison, Anna Filbey, Hannah Godfrey, Lucia Leon, Aurora Mikalsen, Chloe Peplow, Lucy Quinn, Siri Worm and Elisha Sulola following the conclusion of their contracts.#THFC ⚪️ #COYS Tottenham Hotspur Women (@SpursWomen) May 25, 2021
