Tottenham reach £1 billion spending on 43 transfers in last five years, even more than Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer activity over the past five seasons has seen them rank among the Premier League’s biggest spenders, despite their current struggles on the pitch.
Tottenham Hotspur will be desperate to stay in the Premier League this season if they are to embark on a rebuild next campaign.
Failure to avoid the drop to the Championship is sure to bring serious financial repercussions that will limit how much Tottenham can spend and the type of players they can attract.
At the heart of the rebuild will be Roberto De Zerbi, who has signed a five-year deal with Tottenham, while it remains to be seen if Johan Lange will maintain his role as sporting director in the summer transfer window.

Of course, many Spurs fans will state that a lack of ambition is what has ultimately landed the north London club in a full-on relegation scrap this season.
Failure to build on past successes and land some of the best players has seen Tottenham fall behind several of their rivals.
However, recent data from Swiss Ramble now shows that Tottenham, when it comes to transfer spend in the last five years, are among the big spenders in the Premier League.
In fact, only Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City have spent more in the transfer market than Spurs in that timeframe.
Tottenham have spent a whopping £1bn on new players in the last five years (up to 2025/26), which is the fifth-highest gross spend in the Premier League.

But who did Tottenham sign in that time period? We have now put together a list of every transfer completed by Spurs between the 2021/22 and 2025/26 seasons.
Our own calculations have the five-year total at around £871m, but it is unclear whether Swiss Ramble included additional fees like wages, bonuses, agent fees, etc into their total. They may have also included the transfers from 2020/21, which would have added another £95m.
