Tōko Koga has completed her move from Feyenoord to Tottenham Hotspur. The 19-year-old Japan international has signed a deal that runs until June 2029.
The centre-back began her career with JFA Academy Fukushima before moving to the Netherlands in 2024.
Koga made a total of 35 appearances for Feyenoord, scoring three goals.
Having represented Japan at youth level from Under-17 through to Under-23, Tōko made her senior international debut against the USA as a substitute in the SheBelieves Cup in April 2024.
She was named in Japan’s 2024 Olympic squad and started all four matches for her country in the tournament.
Earlier this year, she featured in all three SheBelieves Cup fixtures and scored the winning goal against the USWNT, helping Japan claim the trophy for the first time.
Tōko has won 19 caps for her country to date, scoring three goals.
Speaking with tottenhamhotspur.com about the move, she said: “I’m really happy to be here. The environment at Spurs is great, and I’m amazed at how big the facility is.”
“As for the reason I decided to join the club, I had wanted to play in England for a long time. It’s a top-class league, and I believe I can grow a lot by competing at that level every week.
“Transferring to the Dutch league helped me to adjust to the environment in Europe, and playing in a different environment from Japan helped me grow. I played with more physically capable players, and that helped me to develop as a defender.”
