Spurs sign French international defender Sombath | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of French international defender Alice Sombath on a permanent deal.

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

The 22-year-old full-back joins Spurs from French Arkema Première Ligue club OL Lyonnes.

Sombath is one of the brightest young defenders to come out of the French game in recent years. The youngster has spent all of her senior career to date with OL Lyonnes. Sombath has won 10 major trophies with OL including the UEFA Women’s Champions League and five French Arkema Première Ligue titles.

On the international stage, Sombath has been capped by France on 16 occasions at senior level.

After sealing her move to Spurs, Sombath said “I want to do my best here at Tottenham Hotspur. I think the league is very competitive, every game is a tough game, and that’s what I’m most excited about.

“I saw that Spurs had a very good season last year – my qualities can bring something to the team, even though I know they already have a lot.”

Sombath is Spurs’ sixth signing of what is proving to be a very busy transfer window for the club.
