Daniel Levy has warned that UEFA's new financial sustainability regulations will lead to 'some form of wage control' after the Spurs chairman was asked about the growing threat of Newcastle United.
Newcastle are currently three points clear of Spurs in the race for the Champions League, with a game in hand, ahead of these top four rivals facing off at St James' Park. Newcastle may still have a further seven matches to play this season, but the Magpies could land a huge psychological blow in the battle to finish fourth on Sunday.
There is certainly a huge prize on offer in the coming weeks. Returning to Europe's top table for the first time in 20 years would be a real game-changer for Newcastle when it comes to how much Eddie Howe can spend this summer, the fair market sponsorship deals the club can command and the quality of players the ambitious black-and-whites can attract.
