Tottenham sign France defender Sombath from Lyon
Tottenham have signed France international Alice Sombath for a club record fee from Lyon.
Tottenham have completed the signing of France international Alice Sombath from Lyon in a club-record deal, according to a monitored public feed citing BBC Sports.
The move marks a major statement of intent from Tottenham as they add an established defender with international experience to their squad. The fee involved is described in the feed summary as a club record, underlining the scale of the transfer for the London side.
Sombath arrives from Lyon, one of the best-known clubs in French football, where she had been part of the team before the switch to Tottenham. The feed identifies her as a France international, but does not include further details on contract length, personal terms or the exact transfer figure.
The signing is notable not only because of the record outlay, but also because it reinforces Tottenham’s commitment to strengthening their defensive options with a player tested at a high level. For Lyon, it means the departure of another player from a squad with a strong reputation in the women’s game.
Based on the monitored public feed, the transfer has been reported by BBC Sports, which first carried the news of Tottenham’s agreement for Sombath. No additional comments or background were included in the summary provided.
