We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for Signe Gaupset to join us from SK Brann on 1 January, 2026, subject to international clearance and work permit.
The highly rated 20-year-old Norway international has agreed a long-term contract and will wear the number eight shirt.
Signe Gaupset, said: “When I have spoken to people at the Club, the project and everything around it, it just seems really good. This is a good place for me to be a better footballer, to develop more and be as good as possible.
“I know Martin [Ho] as a coach and I know what to expect. We worked really well together. He demands a lot, but I like that, I think he can get even more out of me.”
Our Head Coach Martin Ho, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Signe to Tottenham Hotspur and to bring a player of her calibre into our environment. She is a terrific person before anything else, and an exceptional footballer whose professionalism, ambition and personality will strengthen our squad.
“Signe offers genuine invention in possession, explosiveness in duels and a top-level ability to shift momentum in 1v1 moments. She has the intelligence to connect the game, the athleticism to drive forward with purpose, and the mentality to influence the standards around her. These are qualities that align fully with the identity we’re building and the demands of our style.
“A player with her potential naturally attracts attention, so we’re incredibly proud she chose our project and believes in the direction this team is going. We’re excited for everything she will bring to Tottenham Hotspur Women.”
An attacking midfielder that can operate centrally and in wide positions, Signe’s youth career was spent at Rival and Molde before joining IL Sandviken in 2021 – now known as SK Brann – where she made an instant impact in senior football, scoring on debut at 16 in a 2-0 win over Asane in the Norwegian Cup, and played 10 times in her maiden campaign.
Signe’s breakthrough moment came in 2022 when she inspired the Bergen side to claim the Norwegian Cup with a brace in a 3-1 win over Stabaek. The following season, under Martin Ho’s leadership, the young midfielder shone in the UEFA Women’s Champions League at just 18 years old, notably scoring a last-minute equaliser in a draw with Lyon in the group stage to help Brann progress to the knockouts for the very first time.
Comfortable operating with both feet, Signe contributed with seven goals in the 2024 season as Brann finished second in the table. Her best goalscoring campaign came this term in the Toppserien, netting 15 goals and registering 12 assists in 26 appearances to help them claim their second league title, and was named the league’s 2025 Player of the Year for her standout displays.
On the international stage, she made her senior debut for Norway against Croatia in February, 2024, before being named in Gemma Grainger’s squad for EURO 2025. She made three appearances in the tournament and bagged a brace against Iceland in the group stage, with her performances seeing her nominated for the Golden Girl Trophy.
