£134m Tottenham transfer bonanza on cards as Daniel Levy set for face-to-face talks
Analysis: Will Levy bankroll huge Tottenham transfer budget?
While supporters have at times been frustrated by Levy’s sustainability-first approach to running Spurs, his philosophy is now paying off.
Their turnover and EBITDA (earnings before interested, tax, depreciation and amortisation) are among the strongest in the league. And that gives them significant room to manoeuvre in the transfer market.
That doesn’t mean Levy and ENIC are obliged to bankroll a huge spree this summer, however.
Ultimately, they can only spend big if the owners are willing to finance it.
But as the departures of 12 first-team players could shave as much as £47.5m from the wage bill, it’s hard to imagine a scenario in which the owners wouldn’t choose to reinvest.
And with Levy and his peers in the boardroom extremely conscious of the value that a strong playing squad has for potential investors, they will be ready to back the manager in the transfer market.
