It was a maiden campaign to remember for Tōko Koga at Spurs, which ended in her picking up the Adults Supporters Player of the Season for 2025/26.
Arriving in England as a 19-year-old, following a spell with Feyenoord, in the summer of 2025, the Japan international took to Women’s Super League football like a duck to water, which ultimately saw her named in the competition’s team of the season for 2025/26.
Unfazed about any challenge despite her age, Tōko made 26 appearances in all competitions last term and contributed with two goals, including a 35-yard strike from distance to earn us a 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in our season finale.
