Now that the transfer window has slammed shut, we take a look at the total value of all of Tottenham’s signings and sales across the transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur had a busy transfer window, with the club bringing in six players through the door across the summer: Mathys Tel, Kota Takai, Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani.
In addition, the obligation to buy Kevin Danso also became active in the summer after his loan switch from Lens back in January.
There was a high-profile exit in the form of former captain Heung-min Son, who sealed a move to Los Angeles FC, while Bryan Gil also joined Girona in a permanent switch, in addition to the various other players who left on loan.
What was Tottenham’s net spend this summer?
Tottenham spent £55m on Kudus, £30m on Tel, £5m on Takai, £51m on Simons, and loan fees of £4.3m each on both Palhinha and Kolo Muani.
That, in addition to the £21m they paid for Danso, brings Tottenham’s total spend this summer to £170.6m
However, Spurs also recouped £20m on Son, £8.7m on Bryan Gil and an additional £17m as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s move to Marseille became permanent.
That brings their total net spend for the summer of 2025 to £124.9, which, while being significant, is not as high as some other clubs in the Premier League.
Incoming:
- Mohammed Kudus – £55m
- Mathys Tel – £30m
- Kota Takai – £5m
- Xavi Simons – £51m
- Joao Palhinha – £4.3m loan fee
- Randal Kolo Muani – £4.3m loan fee
- Kevin Danso (technically signed permanently this summer) – £21m
Outgoing:
- Bryan Gil – £8.7m
- Heung-min Son – £20m
- Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – £17m
Total net spending = £124.9m
Spurs’ wage bill has grown considerably
The transfer fee is just a part of a player’s cost to a club, with his contract sometimes ending up being even more expensive than the fee.
Tottenham’s wage bill has gone up substantially despite the exit of Son, with Cristian Romero and Djed Spence being handed pay rises, while most of the newcomers are on big wages.
According to reports, Simons has signed a seven-year deal worth £200,000 per week, bringing the total cost of the transfer fee and contract to a whopping £125m. This transfer alone cancels out the £200,000 per week saved from selling Son, not to mention the wages now earned by Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha, and Randal Kolo Muani.
However, it should be pointed out that Daniel Levy has been trimming the Spurs wage bill for a couple of seasons now, since the exit of Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris, and other senior stars.
