Former Spurs keeper Korpela joins AS Roma | OneFootball

Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela has joined Italian Serie A Femminile TIM club AS Roma.

‘The Magic One’ announced news of the transfer via a post on their official club website this morning. Korpela has signed an initial one-year deal with the Italian club.

Korpela moves to Italy after spending the last two seasons in North London with Spurs. The 37-year-old Finnish international made 22 appearances for The Lilywhites in the Barclays Women’s Super League during her time at the club. She shared the goalkeeping duties with teammate Becky Spencer.

The veteran keeper has proved that she can continue to compete at the top level despite being in the latter stages of her playing career and she will be aiming to put in some impressive performances for new club AS Roma.

After completing her move to the Italian club, Korpela said “I’m very happy and excited about my move to AS Roma.

“This is a great and traditional club and I’m proud to be able to represent this club. I will do everything in my power to help us succeed in all possible competitions, both in Italy and in Europe.”

Korpela joins an AS Roma side that won the Serie A Femminile TIM in 2022/2023.
