Tottenham’s Cho So-hyun pictured at Hotspur Way training ground for first time loan since switch from rivals West Ham


CHO SO-HYUN has been pictured at Tottenham’s training ground for the first time since her transfer from rivals West Ham.

The South Korean playmaker will wear the number 11 shirt for the North Londoners.

Cho So-hyun has switched from West Ham to Spurs

Cho joined West Ham in January, 2019 and made 33 appearances

The midfield maestro, 32, penned a season long loan deal with Spurs – with an option to make the switch permanent.

She is one of the East London club’s most experienced players, as skipper of her country and with the most caps for the international team.

Cho will reunite with men’s South Korea captain Son Heung-min, at the North London club.

The women’s and men’s teams share the Hotspur Way training hub.

The move to seventh-placed Spurs will be a step up for midfield maestro, given that West Ham are third from bottom.

She is in contention to face Chelsea on Sunday, where she will meet up with her international team-mate Ji So-yun.

Cho is also known to be a respected figure in the Hammers’ dressing room and is often helping guide the youngsters.

She was an integral part of the West Ham side which historically reached the FA Cup final for the first time ever, in their inaugural WSL season.

It was her penalty in a shootout with Reading that secured the spot at Wembley in May 2019, and she has made 33 appearances in total.

The South Korea ace spent six years in the WK League, helping Incheon win the top-flight title in four campaigns.

She is the second West Ham casualty of the January transfer window, with striker Alisha Lehmann moving to Everton for a season long loan on Monday.
