Spurs swoop to sign West Ham United’s goal ace Martinez | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the impressive signing of forward Shekiera Martinez from London rivals West Ham United.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Lilywhites this afternoon.

The 24-year-old German international has signed a long-term contract with Spurs and will join the club when the transfer window re-opens.

Martinez is one of the brightest young forwards in the Barclays Women’s Super League and has shown real potential in her time at West Ham United. Since joining The Hammers from German club Eintracht Frankfurt in summer 2024, Martinez has struck an impressive 16 goals in just 32 outings in the Barclays Women’s Super League. The player’s goal tally of 10 in the 2024/2025 season, was the second-highest in the division.

Spurs are in need of attacking reinforcements this summer as they look to close in on the Barclays Women’s Super League’s top-four and it is fair to say that Martinez is a significant addition.

After signing on with Spurs, Martinez 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 [Ho], 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.”

Martinez is one of several deals thought to have already been agreed by Spurs going into the summer.
