Hansen is West Ham’s fourth signing of this month’s transfer window, and club head coach Rita Guarino said she would bring “leadership qualities, versatility and game management both in and out of possession”.

“Tuva has been a key player for her previous club and the national team over many years, and I’m sure she will be a real asset for this group,” she added.
