Tottenham Women have announced the signing of the South Korea captain Cho So-hyun on loan from West Ham for the rest of the season with an option to make the loan permanent in the summer.

Spurs managed to clinch the signing before the WSL January transfer window closed on Thursday.

The 32-year-old playmaker will be a vital addition to Rehanne Skinner’s squad as they try to sustain the form that has seen them win their last three games and move up to seventh in the table after a difficult start to the season.

Cho has been with West since January 2019 and made 33 appearances for the Hammers. She holds the record for most caps for South Korea with 126, having made her debut in 2007.

Spurs said that, subject to FA approval, the midfielder will be eligible to make her debut in the WSL match away at Chelsea on Sunday.

West Ham were also active on the last day of the transfer window bringing in the midfielder Dagny Brynjarsdottir from Icelandic side Selfoss.
