Tottenham may invest up to £134 million this summer as Daniel Levy’s long-term strategy gets realised.
The Spurs could very well seem like a completely different team when they take the pitch again in 2024–2025.
Despite having a strong start to the 2023–24 season, the North Londoners were ultimately unable to qualify for the Champions League for the fifth consecutive year.
Thus, it is thought that Ange Postecoglou is planning to make significant roster changes in order to compete again the following season.
Additionally, Spurs will soon be operating in a different financial climate due to developments at the governance level.
Spurs can spend heavily this summer thanks to PSR adjustments.

Less than 48 hours from now, on Thursday, June 6, the Premier League will conduct its AGM. Levy is going to be there.
The main topic of discussion during the in-person meetings in Harrogate will be a new set of Profit and Sustainability Rules, which were formerly known as financial fair play, or FFP.
Spurs will have to abide by a new financial anchoring and squad cost control ratio starting in 2024–25 if clubs opt to implement the new regulations, as is anticipated.
Regarding Spurs, the finer points of the anchoring method are essentially immaterial because their spending is much below the maximum amount that will be determined.
TBR’s analysis, however, indicates that Spurs have headroom of £134 million with regard to the new squad cost control mechanism.
Under this structure, clubs are only allowed to spend 85 percent of their revenue on salaries, transfers, and agent fees; for clubs like Spurs that play in the European league, this amount drops to 70 percent.
It adds £134 million to Postecoglou’s playing budget.
The amount is derived from their turnover, which in their most recent set of accounts was a club record £550 million, and their 70% upper limit.
With an upper ceiling of £385 million and a yearly wage cost of £251 million—again, a club record—the total headroom becomes £134 million.
Furthermore, since the new squad cost ratio is probably going to be implemented gradually, in tandem with UEFA’s own gradual introduction of a comparable scheme, that number may actually be much higher.
The ultimate amount will probably differ by a small amount as well because the Spurs’ payroll has changed before the upcoming PSR assessment window.
However, the ultimate total will probably increase rather than decrease due to the departure of several high earners this summer.
