Tottenham Hotspur have impressed this season, but will have to invest heavily in the summer if they wish to mount a challenge on all fronts next term.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy discussed the club’s future spending power, and once again played down the possibility of Tottenham breaking the bank, suggesting that they must be realistic in the transfer market, during a board meeting with Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust.
Tottenham fans have become increasingly frustrated with their board’s reluctance to spend heavily over the past few seasons, and feel that if Mauricio Pochettino could bring in one or two more world class stars then they will be able to compete on all fronts for major honours.
But Levy poured cold water on any hopes Spurs fans might have had that their club would go big in the summer transfer market, responding to a question asking if they have sufficient funds to spend, during a board meeting with Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust:
“DL [Daniel Levy] said funds were available and it was always the case given the finances of the club that we had to be realistic in the transfer market while still supporting the squad.”

Although Levy was vague when responding to a question asking him how much money would be made available for transfers, his response will hardly give the fans cause for much excitement.
Pochettino has a fantastic group of players at his disposal but he will, without doubt, have to supplement his squad with at least two top class performers, if he expects his side to challenge for the Premier League and Champions League next season.
