Daniel Levy’s impact at Tottenham praised by Darren Eales.

Former Tottenham director Darren Eales has told The Mirror that chairman Daniel Levy deserves plaudits for the team’s recent success.

While Spurs have not won a trophy since 2008, they have finished third and second in recent seasons despite a very low net spend in comparison to their rivals.

Tottenham are hoping to challenge for the title this season and are preparing to move into their new stadium in 2018.

Eales took on a role at Spurs in 2010 and is currently president of new Major League Soccer side Atlanta United.

He said: “The great thing about Daniel is that everything is done for the best of Tottenham. He drives that hard bargain because he wants the best for Spurs.

“To steward the club as he has done now with the new stadium coming and the team in the Champions League, I think it shows his incredible fortitude and foresight.

“Whether it’s against the likes of Chelsea or Manchester City, he has managed to punch above his weight throughout that time period. So, great credit to him.”

Levy once again left Tottenham’s summer spending late, but appears to have struck good deals for Fernando Llorente, Davinson Sanchez and Serge Aurier.

He managed to keep hold of Tottenham’s star player except for Kyle Walker, who Spurs received £54 million for from Manchester City, and signed Aurier at less than half the price.
