Tottenham Sign Germany Forward Shekiera Martinez From West Ham

Overview

• The club said Martinez has signed a long-term contract and quoted the player saying the move is the "perfect next step" for her career and that she is "delighted to be a Spurs player."
• Martinez scored 16 goals in 32 WSL appearances for West Ham and delivered a standout run of 10 goals in 12 league games in the second half of the 2024–25 season, after moving to England from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2024 and a loan to Freiburg.
• Manager Martin Ho praised Martinez’s movement, presence and finishing and said Spurs had tracked her for some time, presenting the signing as an attacking reinforcement after the departure of Bethany England and part of a push to close on the WSL top four.
• Martinez has begun to earn senior Germany recognition, making her debut in the Nations League final in November 2025 and winning multiple caps, while one article contains a likely erroneous claim that she has "over 100" Germany appearances.
