Tottenham Women SMASH the British transfer record to sign Beth England from Chelsea in £250,000 deal - surpassing what the Blues paid Manchester United for Lauren James

Tottenham Women have smashed the British transfer record to sign Beth England from Chelsea.

Sportsmail reported back in December that the 28-year-old forward had agreed to join Spurs in a move worth £250,000.

Lauren James’s £200,000 transfer from Manchester to Chelsea in 2021 was the previous record for a player moving between Women’s Super League clubs but England’s move makes her the most expensive British player in the WSL.
