Manager optimistic he will be backed by board
‘Invest cleverly and we want to do it smart’
Thomas Frank has said Tottenham are not close to emulating Arsenal by spending £100m on one player.
Spurs have experienced a period of change after September’s removal of Daniel Levy as chair and the decision by the Lewis family, who own the club, to put a new leadership team in place. Plans to expand the business are intended to lead to more sporting success, but it remains to be seen whether they can take the next step and challenge Arsenal for the Premier League title.
Arsenal, top going into Sunday’s north London derby, showed their intent when they bought Declan Rice from West Ham for £105m in 2023. Spurs’ record buy is the £60m Richarlison in 2022.
