The 24-year-old Germany international has signed a long-term contract with the club, and will become a Spurs player upon the opening of the summer transfer window next month.
Shekiera said: "I’m delighted to be a Spurs player. This is the perfect next step for my career and also for me to improve as a player.
"The Club has a really good squad and a good idea of how they want to play - that's why I'm so happy to be here.
"When I spoke with Martin, I really felt confident. He wants to help me improve as a player, to bring my strengths to the team and I know he will help me score goals, too."
Our Head Coach Martin Ho said: "Shekiera is a player we have admired for some time, so we are delighted she has chosen to come to Tottenham Hotspur, especially with the level of significant interest there was in her.
"That shows not only the quality she already has, but also the belief across the game in what she can become. She has already shown, both in Germany and here in the WSL, that she can impact games at a high level, and what excites us most is the level she can still reach.
"She is a forward with real presence, intelligent movement and a strong instinct in the box. She can stretch teams, link play and give us a real threat across the front line. Her profile gives us different solutions in the final third, both as a goalscorer and as someone who can help the team connect and create chances.
"At 24, she has already proven herself in two demanding leagues, but we believe this environment can help take her game to another level. Our responsibility now is to support her, challenge her and give her the platform to keep developing the details of her game, her consistency, decision-making, work without the ball and ability to become even more ruthless in key moments.
"Shekiera has the talent, the ambition and the mentality to become an important player for Spurs, and we are really excited to work with her as part of the future we are building here."
A dynamic and energetic forward, Shekiera began her career with SV Glaserzell and FV Horas before making the move to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2016. She made more than 100 appearances for the German side and featured in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Following eight years with the Frauen-Bundesliga side, she joined West Ham in July, 2024, however spent the first half of that campaign back in Germany on loan with SC Freiburg before returning to the Hammers in January, 2025 where she made an immediate impact in the Women's Super League.
Scoring on her first start in England’s top flight, Shekiera wrapped up the 2024/25 campaign with 10 goals in 12 league appearances and finished as the second top goalscorer in the competition. She also won back-to-back WSL Player of the Month awards in March and April and the league’s Rising Star award at the Women’s Professional Game Awards.
During her first full WSL season in 2025/26, Shekiera netted six goals across all competitions, with one of those winning the league’s Goal of the Month award in December for an impressive bicycle-kick against Manchester United.
Her eye-catching displays in east London saw her receive a maiden senior call-up to the Germany squad in October, 2025 and she made her debut the following month in the UEFA Women’s Nations League final against Spain.
