Signe Gaupset (Norwegian: [ˈsɪŋ.nə ˈɡæʉp.seːt]; born 18 June 2005) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for English Women's Super League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Norway national team. Regarded as one of the best young talents in women's football,[2][3][4] she is known for her attacking play, technical skill and goalscoring abilities.[5][6]

Club career

Gaupset hails from Molde Municipality and started her youth career in Rival and went on to the largest club in the city, Molde. At a young age, she trained before school, after school and after dinner. High quantities of training may have contributed to an injury which made her miss half the 2023 season.[7]

Gaupset joined IL Sandviken in 2021, some time before her 16th birthday, and remained in the club when it was rebranded as SK Brann Kvinner in 2022.[8] Gaupset made her national breakthrough in the 2022 Norwegian Women's Cup final, where she scored the two goals that put Brann ahead 3–1 to Stabæk.[9][10]

She then made her international breakthrough during the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage. First, she was praised as "a sensation" during Brann's loss to Lyon.[11] One week later, in the reverse match against Lyon, Gaupset scored the equalizing goal in extra time.[12] Lastly, against Slavia Prague one of her crosses was converted to an own goal; with this being the only goal in the match, Brann progressed to the next round.[13]

On 21 November 2025, it was announced that Gaupset would join Tottenham Hotspur on 1 January 2026.[14] She scored her first goal for Tottenham in a 7–3 win over Aston Villa on 15 February 2026, also providing an assist for the goal scored by Maika Hamano in the match.[15][16]

International career

She became a prolific goalscorer for youth international teams.[8] Her scoring Norway's only goal at the 2022 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship did not prevent Norway from being eliminated.[17]

In February 2024, Gaupset was called up to Norway's senior team in Gemma Grainger's first squad as national team manager.[18] She made her debut as a substitute against Croatia.[8]

On 16 June 2025, Gaupset was called up to the Norway squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025.[19]
