New contract for Eveliina Summanen

Having spent the early stages of her career in Finland and Sweden, the powerhouse midfielder made the switch to north London from Swedish side Kristianstads DFF in January, 2022, and quickly settled into life in England, featuring in 12 games for us in the second half of the 2021/22 campaign.

A consistent performer in midfield for us over the last four years, Eveliina had a memorable season the following year, where she registered 11 goal involvements (five goals and six assists) in 25 appearances – her best goalscoring contribution in a Spurs shirt and in her career to date.

Despite being struck with injury in November, 2023, our number 25 returned for the second half of the season and went on to play a pivotal role in our historic run to our first Women’s FA Cup Final.

The 2024/25 campaign was another productive season, featuring in 19 games in all competitions and netting two goals, one of those being a sensational 40-yard strike against Aston Villa in the Women’s League Cup, which unsurprisingly won the Supporters’ Goal of the Season award.

The Finland international made her senior national debut against China in June, 2017 and has been a key part of the squad since. She was a permanent fixture throughout her country’s successful qualification for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 and was in the final squad that competed in England.

With Finland qualifying once again for Euro 2025, she was named in their squad that travelled to Switzerland to compete in her second major international tournament, featuring in all three games in that competition.
