Are Tottenham finally operating like one of Europe's biggest clubs?
Anatole Pang joins The Lab to unpack the dramatic change in Spurs' transfer strategy, why the club suddenly has the financial power to compete for elite players, and whether Daniel Levy's departure was the catalyst or simply the final piece of a much bigger plan.
We discuss Simon Jordan's comments, the Lewis family's role, De Zerbi's influence on recruitment, why Spurs may be making up for a decade of underinvestment, and how PSR, Squad Cost Ratio and the stadium all fit into the bigger picture.
If you've wondered why Tottenham can suddenly spend £100m on players while other clubs are tightening their belts, this episode explains why.
