Tottenham to bank multi-million cash injection after Levy transfer agreement
Daniel Levy has continued to come under heaps of criticism at Tottenham this season due to his lack of investment for some time now.
Tottenham find themselves sitting 16th in the Premier League table, with the Europa League their only route to European football once more next season.
Ange Postecoglou’s future is under serious doubt, even if his side comes out victorious in Europe, as Levy looks for significant improvement.
The summer transfer window will prove to be a crucial period for Spurs in their long-term development and could seriously set the tone for how the future looks.
Levy secures Tottenham financial deal
Much of the criticism that is fired at Levy comes from a place of anger over a lack of investment in the squad, despite the club having the revenue streams available to create funds.
The Spurs chief has never been known to be a spender, but with the north London outfit ticking over at the right end of the table for some time now, he’s been able to get away with that more than he currently is.
Ahead of the summer window, Levy has some crucial decisions to make, most notably over whether Postecoglou will be the man in charge of transfers or whether a new boss is the way to go.
After that decision is made, there is no excuse for Levy not to make sure he is well aware of the targets Tottenham will be going for and how much money will realistically be needed to strengthen the squad.
One thing that the owner will be pleased to take credit for is a £3million boost into the pot this summer, thanks to Marcus Edwards’ promotion to the Premier League with Burnley.
The Spurs academy graduate is a Sporting Lisbon player but made the loan move to Turf Moor in the winter transfer window.
Due to their promotion from the Championship, Burnley are obligated to purchase the 26-year-old ahead of the new campaign.
According to Tom Barclay via X (23 April), Tottenham had a sell-on clause that they can benefit from, with 35 per cent of the £8.5million deal due to go to the Lilywhites.
Levy has to change his ways at Tottenham
Given that Edwards left Tottenham in 2019, earning a fee for him at this stage is a pretty good bonus for Tottenham as they look ahead to the summer transfer window.
However, there is no guarantee that Levy will actually put this money back towards the Tottenham squad and this is a problem that supporters have felt for a while.
That being said, surely the chief can see that the level of performance from Postecoglou this season is not sustainable, and to save the Lilywhites from their slump, a refresh has to happen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.
| Played | Won | Drawn | Lost |
| 33 | 11 | 4 | 18 |
It’s all well and good putting deals like this in place, which allow Spurs to benefit down the line, but it will only be worth it if the money is put into bringing more success to North London.
Should Tottenham fail to address the clear issues that are facing them this summer, it could continue to be a very bleak time to be a Tottenham fan.
