Twenty-four year old Shekiera Martinez is set to join Tottenham Hotspur once the Summer transfer window opens next month. This comes after the north London club announced her permanent transfer in May.
The German striker has impressed across the BWSL after making her league debut in January 2025.
Martinez started her career at SV Glaserzell and FV Horas before making the move to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2016. She spent eight years with the German side competing in the Frauen Bundesliga, and making over a century of appearances across all competitions. While at Frankfurt, Martinez featured nine times in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Then, in July 2024 she signed for West Ham United, leaving the club immediately on loan before returning in January where she went on to make her BWSL debut.
The striker scored on her first start for the Hammers and continued finding form quickly as she scored ten goals in 12 league appearances in the second half of the 2024-25 season. More recently, she scored another ten goals across all competitions in the 2025-26 season, in which she made 26 appearances.
During the most recent campaign, she also won the Goal of the Month award for December following her bicycle kick against Manchester United.
Internationally, she earned her first cap for Germany at Under-15 level, before progressing through the age groups for the U16, U17, U19 and U23 teams. She was also called up for the Under-17 and Under-19 UEFA European Championships.
She earned her first cap for the Senior team in November 2025 when she featured in the UEFA Women’s Nations League final against Spain.
Martinez is an energetic and powerful young player, and has signed a long-term contract with the Lilywhites. With Martin Ho already singing her praises, she is set for another successful campaign in the BWSL.
