Tottenham Hotspur’s new ownership structure is planning to take a significant step in the upcoming transfer window.
We have heard repeatedly since the departure of Daniel Levy that the Lewis family wants to usher in a new era of on-pitch success at Tottenham.
Several sources have claimed over recent months that Spurs are prepared to make some ambitious moves in January to signal their ambition.
According to a recent update by The Telegraph, Tottenham will focus their efforts on making signings that would improve their starting eleven rather than adding squad players or project players to the squad.
Big funds will be made available by Tottenham hierarchy in January
A new report in BBC Sport has now claimed that Tottenham Hotspur’s financial power is growing in light of the change in the ownership structure.
It is asserted that the Lewis family will make ‘substantial funds available in the forthcoming transfer windows’ as Spurs aim to close the gap with the best sides in the Premier League.
The goal of the Tottenham hierarchy is to spark a sustained spell of on-pitch success, which has eluded the North London club for a long time.
The quality of Spurs’ recruitment will dictate how successful they are
There is no doubt that spending money on transfers and wages is a prerequisite for success, but we see time and again that spending alone is no guarantee of success.
In fact, Tottenham have one of the highest net spends in the Premier League over the last five years, and the team has actually regressed in that time.
In fact, the club’s most expensive signings in that period, such as Dominic Solanke, Richarlison and Tanguy Ndombele, have not moved the dial much.
The club’s most impressive additions have been ones like Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Archie Gray, and Dejan Kulusevski, who did not cost a fortune.
It is thus vitally important that Fabio Paratici, Johan Lange and Tottenham’s recruitment team get their decisions right.
