Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel both completed their permanent moves to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer after spending six months on loan, and we take a look at how their salaries compare to the rest of the Spurs squad.
Danso arrived on loan from Lens in January with an obligation to buy in the summer, which automatically became activated at the end of the season.
On the other hand, Tottenham had a £50 million option-to-buy clause for Tel, but the North London club managed to negotiate that down in the summer.
Spurs paid £29.6 million to Bayern Munich for Tel, with the Frenchman becoming the first signing of the Thomas Frank era.
Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel are not among Tottenham’s top earners
Some of Tottenham’s summer signings, such as Joao Palhinha, Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani and Mohammed Kudus, are among the highest earners at the club.
However, that is certainly not the case with Tel and Danso, who rank a long way down in the list of the club’s top earners.
The France Under-21 international takes home just £55,000 a week, according to Capology, while the website says Danso only earns fractionally more at £65,000 a week.
Tottenham’s wage bill has gone up considerably
While Tottenham sold their highest earner, Heung-min Son, in the summer, their wage bill has still gone up over recent months.
That is not only due to the players who were added to the squad, but also due to the fact that Cristian Romero got a bumper pay rise, becoming Tottenham’s highest earner after signing his new deal.
Djed Spence subsequently also signed a new contract, while more recently, Rodrigo Bentancur became the latest player to receive a contract extension.
