bbc.co.ukAston Villa forward Kirsty Hanson is set to join Tottenham after an impressive season in the Women's Super League. The Scotland international finished as the league's third highest goalscorer with 12 goals in 22 matches. Only Khadija Shaw and Alessia Russo scored more.
Hanson was Aston Villa's top scorer and was named the club's player of the year. She also won the WSL Football goal-of-the-season award for her strike against West Ham. The 28-year-old had a year remaining on her contract at Villa.
In May, BBC Sport reported that Tottenham were pursuing Hanson. It is now believed the club has had a bid accepted by Aston Villa and is set to bring her in this month. Personal terms are being finalised.
