Tottenham midseason report card: Martin Ho’s side the most improved in the WSL

Martin Ho Tottenham WSL

At the halfway stage of the Women’s Super League, SheKicks is compiling a midseason report card for each of the WSL teams and next up is Tottenham.

How have Tottenham started the WSL season?

Tottenham are by far the most improved side in the Women’s Super League this season.

Last season, Spurs finished second bottom with 20 points from 22 games.

At the halfway stage of 2025-26, Tottenham have matched their points score from last season in half the number of games.

Under new boss Martin Ho, Tottenham have won six of their 11 games, losing only to Manchester City, Chelsea and the London City Lionesses.

They have also managed to take draws away from games with Arsenal and Manchester United, albeit the Red Devils came from three goals down in a 3-3 draw.

The draw with Manchester United and the defeat to London City are the only real disappointments in what has been an excellent season.

The future is bright too, with Signe Gaupset set to join Tottenham in the new year.

How have Tottenham’s new signings performed?

Tottenham made just two signings in the summer but both have been excellent additions.

Toko Koga is one of the most highly-rated teenage defenders in world football and has started all but one game for Tottenham in the WSL this season.

Cathinka Tandberg was on the shortlist for WSL Player of the Month in September, after scoring a goal of the season contender against Everton.

The striker scored a 40-yard lob against the Toffees, which is one of four goals in the WSL this term.

Tottenham have added two more players to their squad who will arrive in January. Hanna Wijk joins Tottenham from BK Hacken, while Gaupset moves to the WSL club from SK Brann.

Tottenham head coach Martin Ho’s performance

At the halfway stage of the WSL season, Martin Ho is a contender for Manager of the Season.

Ho, alongside Manchester City’s Andree Jeglertz, would be the main contenders to win the award at this point.

Spurs appear to have a bright future under Ho, who has turned around their fortunes since the disappointment of last season.

Tottenham WSL midseason report grade: A

Tottenham are tied alongside Manchester City for the highest WSL midseason report grade with an A.

Spurs sit fifth in the WSL but are only four points behind second-placed Chelsea.

A top-four finish would still be a surprise, but fifth would be an exceptional season for Ho’s side.
