Tottenham failed to sell a single player in the first team, with Thomas Frank not having much scope to revise his new squad.
Spurs’ perceived lack of expenses served as the background for many of their latest transfer windows. Daniel Levy told the fans in March that the association had to issue as part of its funds.

For the year ending in June 2024, the LilyWHites had losses after taxes of £ 26.2 million.
This made a decline compared to its loss of 86.8 million GBP in the previous year, although a drop in sales of 21.4 million GBP corresponds.
The fans had hoped that a first European trophy would change transfer plans this summer in 41 years, especially under a new manager.
And with regard to income, this initially seemed to be the case after Mohammed Kudus completed a change from West Ham of 55 million GBP.
Tottenham had already signed the Japanese international defender Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale.
In the meantime, they have also converted loans Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso into permanent additions to the squad.
However, the Morgan Gibbs-White saga has slowed down its dynamics in terms of income, which emphasized its actual problem: sales.
As Levy emphasized, Tottenham has invested more than 700 million GBP in player acquisitions since the opening of the new stadium of the club in April 2019.
61 days later, Spurs in the Champions League final – they were the fifth largest expenditure on transfer fees in the world, but fell in 44th place for income in sales in the same period.

Why do Spurs have difficulty selling players?
And that has been another topic since 2019, in which Chelsea is more than what your neighbors in North London have.
During this time, the blues achieved almost £ 1 billion for the sale of players, and Spurs behind Southampton, Leicester, Leeds and Bournemouth.
According to the Telegraph, Tottenham’s inability to sell is placed on two main factors.
These are unrealistic reviews for their players and a failure to identify themselves effectively in order to display – emphasized by the fact that four of their 2019 Champions League starters remain on free transfers.

This was a big problem this summer when Football Finance expert Stefan Borson reveals that they have to sell some of their stars or benefit from a money injection to strengthen their squad.
“Daniel Levy is unable to bring in more money,” he said to White & Jordan in April. “He is a very wealthy guy because of his stock business, but if he does not sell these shares, he doesn’t have the money to put in the club.
“This leaves Lewis Trust – not Joe Lewis himself – the Lewis Trust, who, from the perspective of cash, is effectively the only budget for Spurs because they can no longer elevate debts.
“In addition, you may have some problems with the federal government, and the problem you will have is nothing to do with a financial fair game, it has to do with real cash. How do you actually pay for things?
“If you don’t either collect money from one of your shareholders or sell some footballers, you don’t have the money to pay new footballers.”
Tottenham has tried to correct the situation by triggering an option to expand the son’s contract to protect the value of the latter.
