Tottenham Hotspur have long been known to be a selling club, as most of the big name players have been sold to big clubs who came in with huge offers. In spite of this, they are also known to promote youngsters from the academy, and also are capable of some shrewd buys, which enhance the team’s performance.
Their dealings in the transfer market have made them one of the most efficient clubs around. They have a net profit of close to £40,000,000 in the past 5 seasons, having gained a good amount of profits with the players that they’ve sold.
In the year Gareth Bale was sold to Real Madrid, a profit of £9,800,000 was gained, in spite of them spending £103,700,000 on the signing of new players. It can be said conclusively that Tottenham are one of the most productive teams in the transfer market.
