Liverpool's grip of the record for net (post-tax profit) has been lost after they announced a £106million profit in their latest accounts in February of this year.

Leicester City had previously held the record for profit of £80m in 2016-17 (£92m pre-tax) after reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2017.

In revenue terms, Spurs are in sixth place in the Premier League, with their 23 per cent increase in income closing the gap on Arsenal (£403m), Chelsea (£443m) Liverpool (£455m), Manchester City (£500m) and Manchester United (£590m).

Media revenue has decreased to £147.6m, commercial revenue increased by £33m to £109m and match revenue by £25.6m to £71m.

In the period up until 30 June 2018, £84m came into the club from player transfers and Spurs spent £116million on new additions, including the likes of Davinson Sanchez, Lucas Moura and Serge Aurier.
