Vilahamn ready to work his magic with Tottenham

Robert Vilahamn has taken over Spurs Women this summer, joining from Swedish side BK Hacken, and leads them into their opener against Chelsea.

Like Postecoglou, 40-year-old Vilahamn (right) has an ambition to make his mark at the highest level.

“I was doing fine in Sweden, but when I become happy I want to take the next step”, says Vilahamn. “The WSL is the best in the world, and Spurs are one of those clubs who could be one of the best in the world. We play the way I want to, but we have a long way to go, because last season was not the best and the players were not in the best shape.”
