She has 34 caps for her country and played throughout Finland’s 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifying campaign and successful qualification for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022.
Summanen told tottenhamhotspur.com: “It’s a dream to sign for Tottenham Hotspur, I’m very proud to be a Spurs player. The Club has big ambitions and I’m incredibly happy to be a part of the next stage of the journey here. I felt that now is the right time to take the next step in my career and play in one of the top leagues in the world. I can’t wait to get started.”
Head coach Rehanne Skinner said: “I am delighted to have Eveliina join us in the January window. She has an extremely valuable amount of experience despite her age and has played a key role at both club and international level helping Finland to successfully qualify for the UEFA Women’s Euros 2022. Eveliina will adapt well to life in the WSL – she brings a fantastic work ethic and strong technical capabilities. We are looking forward to what the future will bring for her here at Spurs.”
