Handover (8)
I believe the answer is:
transfer
'handover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for transfer that I've seen before include "Move football clubs" , "Convey from one surface to another" , "a side to side movement in soccer, perhaps" , "Move something from one place to another" , "Move, change (to new place)" .)
