Tottenham’s all-time record signings adjusted for inflation sees Ruel Fox above Savio

The list of Tottenham’s most expensive signings and sales, adjusted for football revenue rises, paints a clearer picture of how ambitious the club’s hierarchy was this summer.

If you look through the record signings from Premier League clubs, almost every single one was made in the last few years. That is down to a combination of inflation and a dramatic increase in the amount of money in the modern game.

That has also led to an inflation of player values, especially, as Tottenham found out this summer, when it comes to signing ‘Premier League proven’ stars.
