Tottenham transfer budget to be best in Premier League after rule change
Tottenham are better positioned than any other club in the Premier League to capitalise on the new Premier League financial regulations, sources have told Football Insider.
The Premier League is set to scrap the current Profit and Sustainability Rules in the 2025-26 season and instead operate under new squad cost rules.
Top-flight clubs will be allowed to spend up to 85 percent of their revenue on player transfers, wages and agent fees.
However, anchoring rules will also be attached which will cap spending to around five times the lowest earnings in the division.
Sources have told Football Insider that Spurs will thrive under the new regulations and take their transfer spending to new levels thanks to the strict wage control system implemented by chairman Daniel Levy.
Tottenham spending to explode under new financial rules
Tottenham had the lowest wages-to-turnover ratio of any Premier League club in 2023 with the North London outfit spending just 46 percent of their revenue on wages.
They announced a club-record revenue of £550million in their 2022-23 accounts with a wage bill of £251million.
If Spurs are able to maintain their wage bill and revenue growth, it would allow the club to have one of the biggest transfer budgets in the division under new regulations.
However, competing in Europe would restrict Tottenham’s spending slightly with Uefa’s regulations permitting clubs to spend just 70 percent of their revenue on wages, transfer fees and agent fees.
