Since Pochettino’s reign at Spurs began, the Argentine has only spent a net sum of just under £30m, compared to the gigantic amounts of some of his top four rivals.
Spurs have built a side over the past few seasons, rather than throwing money around in order to buy the best players at their peak.
They have bought smart and well with the likes of Lucas Moura, and developed young talent through the academy like Harry Winks.
They have also tied down Harry Kane, Winks, Dele Alli, Erik Lamela, Heung Min Son, Luke Amos, Davinson Sanchez and more to new long-term deals this season.
Levy has taken the first few steps to getting somewhere a little closer to pay parity with some of his competitors, but Tottenham are still lagging behind on that front.
New stats from Sport Intel show just how far behind Spurs are in player wages.
Man United pay a whopping £6.5m per year per player on average to their first team stars.
