Tottenham sign Australia striker Raso on free transfer

Hayley Raso left Real Madrid at the end of last season

Tottenham have signed free agent Hayley Raso on a two-year deal.

The Australia forward, who has had spells in the Women's Super League with Everton and Manchester City, was a free agent after leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season.

The 29-year-old has scored 19 goals in 90 appearances for the Matildas since making her international debut in 2012 aged 17.

Raso scored three times as Australia reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2023, where they were knocked out by runners-up England.

Her move is subject to international clearance and a work permit, and Raso will wear the number eight shirt in north London.

She could make her debut for Spurs when they host Crystal Palace in their opening WSL fixture on 22 September.
