Norwegian international goalkeeper Selma Panengstuen says she has completed a “dream” move by joining Women’s Super League side Tottenham.

The 23-year-old shot to prominence in 2025, playing a key role in helping Bergen-based side SK Brann win a second league title under current Spurs coach Martin Ho.

Panengstuen started all 27 league games during that campaign, keeping 18 clean sheets. She made her international debut in a friendly against Sweden in June 2025 and then in September played in a 1-0 home win in the first leg of a Women’s Champions League qualifier against Manchester United.

And she has started the current Norwegian season in fine form with eight clean sheets from 11 games.

But she has opted to switch to Spurs to play in the Women’s Super League.

“This is a project that is going upwards,” said Panengstuen, whose contract length has not been disclosed.

“I have some friends here, and they have said some great things about Spurs.”

Ho added: “Selma is a goalkeeper with outstanding potential who already has a strong foundation to her game.

“She has the qualities we value highly, shot-stopping ability, courage, communication, athleticism and the mentality to keep improving every single day.”
