Harry Redknapp has stated that people do not realise just how wealthy Tottenham’s majority owner, Joe Lewis, is and added that the North London club can match the biggest clubs in the Premier League when it comes to spending power.

The club have certainly started the transfer window in an encouraging fashion, having signed Dejan Kulusevski permanently from Juventus while also bringing Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison and Manor Solomon through the door.
However, most people would agree that the squad needs a few more top-class additions to give Ange Postecoglou any chance of competing against the best sides in the Premier League.
Harry Redknapp predicts spending from Spurs
Redknapp does not have any doubt that Spurs will splash the cash this summer, pointing out that the Lilywhites have been one of the biggest spenders over the past five or six years.
The former Tottenham manager told talkSPORT: “I don’t think Tottenham are short of money. They are owned by Joe Lewis. I don’t think people realise just what a wealthy owner they have. He is an incredibly, incredibly rich man.
“Daniel (Levy) is obviously a part owner with him. I think they have been in the top five spenders in the country in the last five or six years.
“They spend a fair amount every year and I think they’ll spend again to try to give the new manager a chance to go on and get in that top four and to win a trophy.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Joe Lewis’ wealth is inconsequential as it has been well documented that Tottenham are a self-sustaining club, that only spends part of the revenue they earn. The owners have never claimed to invest their own money into helping improve the first-team.
Thankfully, we now have the infrastructure and the commercial potential to match the revenue of the biggest clubs in Europe, which is why we can compete with almost any club in the transfer market.
