Tottenham Hotspur responded to back-to-back 17th-place Premier League finishes by spending more than £50m each on five players. This comes at a time of tight financial rules, when teams finishing in European places are having to trim their squads.

Chris Weatherspoon explains how Spurs have concentrated on a long-term off-pitch financial strategy that has put them in a position to spend what they like on-pitch.
