Tottenham Hotspur are currently sat in ninth place in the Premier League table.

According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has put clauses into his players’ contracts, which will see their wages reduced if they fail to make it into the top four.

Tottenham were widely tipped to finish in third place in the Premier League table this season, as they looked the ‘best of the rest’ after Liverpool and Manchester City on paper.

However, Spurs’s poor start to the season has left question marks over whether they will be able to qualify for the Champions League again.

Tottenham have become an established member of the top four in recent years, but they have endured a hugely difficult start to the season, and question marks are being asked about the commitment of their squad.

If Spurs do fail to qualify for Europe’s premier club competition then it could have a big impact on their players, as they will see their pay-packets cut.

Tottenham chairman Levy has incentivised performance at Spurs, with players offered rises for Champions League qualification.

However, a bad season means that Tottenham’s expenditure on salary will be reduced.

The action was taken to protect Spurs’s finances in the case of a poor season, and it could prove to be a smart move from Levy, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s struggles becoming worrying.
