Analysis

Tottenham Hotspur remain one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, despite their relatively empty trophy cabinet over recent years.

The north London club ended their long trophy drought with Europa League glory in 2025, but they haven't won the English top flight since 1961, despite a huge amount of money being spent during the 21st century.

Below, we run through how much Tottenham have spent since ENIC became the majority owners of the club in December 2000.
