We are delighted to announce the signing of Tōko Koga from Feyenoord, subject to international clearance and work permit.

The 19-year-old Japan international has agreed a deal that will run until June 2029, and will wear the number 32 shirt.

From Osaka, Japan, the talented centre-back began her footballing career with JFA Academy Fukushima before joining Vrouwen Eredivisie side Feyenoord in January, 2024.

First competing in the Dutch top flight at the age of 18, she made 35 appearances for Feyenoord in total, scoring on three occasions to help the club to a fifth-place finish in the table last season, while also reaching the semi-final of the KNVB Cup.

Welcome to Spurs, Toko!

Featuring for Japan’s youth teams from Under-17 to Under-23 level, Tōko made her senior international debut against the USA as a substitute in the SheBelieves Cup in April, 2024. Following an impressive 2023/24 season, the defender was then named in Japan’s 2024 Olympic squad and started in all four games for her nation in the tournament.

This year, she featured in all three SheBelieves Cup fixtures and scored the winning goal against the USWNT to help Japan claim the trophy for the first time. Tōko has 19 caps to date for her country, scoring three times.

FFS I wish they'd stop reporting the Women's and Mens teams on the same strapline with headings like this:
"Spurs Welcome Japanese Centre Back...."
Of COURSE I was gonna think it was the other one...
...it's fucking confusing!

Today, Saturday, Kota Takai played his last game for Kawasaki Frontale with a great send off from fans, and will now travel to London.

Only real question I guess is whether he arrives on Monday or Tuesday - its a 13 or 14 hour flight time from Japan and London plus time to get to/from airports - and does he start training after a medical on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday ?
 
Found this little list of notable alumni from the Kawasaki Frontale academy that was interesting.

  • Takefusa Kubo - Real Sociedad
  • Koji Miyoshi - Antwerp, Birmingham, Vfl Bochum
  • Ko Itakura - Mönchengladbach
  • Ao Tanaka - Düsseldorf, Leeds
  • Kaoru Mitoma - Brighton

Some good players produced from there. And now hopefully Kota.

Yes, seven's a lucky number, but I'd put in Brennan instead of Bryan, as I don't think he's going to be around that long. Also, don't think he has the boy-band look, reminds me of Howard from The Big Bang Theory.

Really?

I think he looks like a singer from some Indie band inspired by that NYC 70's sound :-

I've never watched Big Bang theory as someone who works in a 'nerdy' STEM sector I always thought it was bullshit.
