Head coach Ange Postecoglou believes Tottenham Hotspur to be in a “great position” to strengthen during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The spending power of Premier League teams has significantly reduced this season amid the fear factor in place after Everton and Nottingham Forest breached profit and sustainability rules.
It resulted in Spurs being one of the big spenders of the January transfer window after they boasted revenue of £444m for the 2022 financial year and that figure is expected to rise even further when the club publish their latest accounts this month.
Yet while both Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have splashed out £100m on individuals in recent seasons, Postecoglou does not envisage Tottenham doing the same in an effort to clinch a maiden Premier League title.
“You are right the club will be in a great position from a financial perspective to continue to grow our team, but if we make bad decisions, we don’t have an advantage,” he said.
“Even if you are not in that position, you can still make progress. It is still about decisions you make with what you have.
“I agree we are in a position where there is an opportunity for us in the summer window to continue to build a team.
“But I don’t think we are in a position to spend £100m on a player, if that is what you are suggesting. That is not the case and I don’t think it will ever be the case for the club.
“Our competitors are, irrespective of the positions.”
