The 22-year-old becomes the second signing of the transfer window for Martin Ho’s side, after they agreed a deal for Norway winger Signe Gaupset in November.

The full-back, who has one cap for Sweden, has been with Hacken since she was 16-years-old and has made 107 appearances in total for the side since her debut in 2020.

“It feels great to be here, I got goosebumps when I put on the shirt,” Wijk said.

“It has always been my dream to move abroad from Sweden and play in this league.

“I love the league and I watched it a lot from home, so I’m really looking forward to playing here in England, and also for Spurs.”
