Tottenham have signed former Arsenal midfielder Viktoria Pelova

Tottenham have signed Netherlands international midfielder Viktoria Pelova after leaving Arsenal.

The 27-year-old joins on a free transfer after spending three years with Tottenham’s rivals in the Women’s Super League.

The midfielder was part of the squad that helped Arsenal win the Women’s Champions League in 2025 and she also lifted two League Cups and the Champions Cup with the Gunners.

After recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury last year, Pelova made 30 appearances in all competitions in his final season at Arsenal.

On the international stage, Pelova has made 71 appearances for the Netherlands and has been part of the squad at the last four major tournaments.

“It’s great to be here, I’ve been well received by everyone. When I had a conversation with (manager) Martin Ho, he was very nice. Going to Spurs felt immediately right,” Pelova said.

“I can’t wait for the season, and I’m very happy to be here.”
