Daniel Levy’s comments on Spurs transfer strategy shift dovetail Paulo Dybala links
Daniel Levy has freed Mauricio Pochettino to splash the cash with Tottenham Hotspur as Paulo Dybala links pick up pace.
Before the current transfer window, Spurs hadn’t signed a player since Lucas Moura’s deal from PSG in January 2018, with funds being funnelled into the building of their new stadium.

However, the Lilywhites have already signed Tanguy Ndombele (£63m) from Lyon and Jack Clarke (£11m) from Leeds United this summer, with the latter heading back to Yorkshire on loan.
And with speculation gathering that Spurs are preparing a bid for Juventus star Dybala – as well as Real Betis’ Giovani Lo Celso – Levy has opened up on a new policy of spending to now help the club on the pitch as well as off it.
He said at an event in Shanghai: “We have embarked in recent years on two major capital projects, which I think in the long term will be of great benefit to the club.
“We will now continue wherever we can to improve the team.

“Now it’s [time] to continue to find ways to not only improve the commercial aspects of the club but also the football and continue to be a success.”
These words will come as music to the ears of Spurs fans who, despite reaching a first-ever Champions League final last season, haven’t seen their club lift major silverware since the 2008 League Cup.
The Lilywhites have an incredibly challenging pre-season schedule ahead of them, with games against Real Madrid and Inter Milan to come following a 3-2 win over Juventus and a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.
