Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has taken aim at “increased sovereign wealth ownership” in the Premier League in the face of huge spending from Manchester City and Chelsea, whilst a Qatari-based bid attempts to seal a deal for Manchester United.
Spurs supporters have been left frustrated by the club’s lack of major transfer spending over the past few seasons compared to some of their direct rivals. The North London side spent around £170m in the most recent summer window - that being the biggest spend ever in the club’s history in one window.
That compares to Man City, who spent a relatively pedestrian £135m compared to their usually lucrative standards. Meanwhile, Chelsea have spent over half a billion since the arrival of Todd Boehly.
