Of the £75m that Tottenham have spent so far this summer to bring in five players, only two have them have come with any upfront transfer fees. Richarlison, £50m, and Yves Bissouma, £25m, are the two that have been purchased, whilst free transfers were completed for Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic, whilst Clement Lenglet joined on loan.
For five first team players, this represents good value and smart business. Antonio Conte has recruited a team of experienced players to supplement the attacking quality he already has in order to put pressure on Manchester City and Liverpool next season.
Even with the signing of Djed Spence from Middlesbrough, Spurs will have added six player to their squad for less than £100m, markedly better use of their money as opposed to the post-Gareth Bale spending spree.
