Tottenham Hotspur’s Wage Structure
Tottenham Hotspur have long had a restrictive, well-defined wage system. The club has been criticized by fans and the media for years due to a lack of paying big wages to attract the type of players Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City have signed. The wage structure at Spurs has also led to speculation that top stars such as Harry Kane and Dele Alli could leave for other teams and bigger wages.
Kane is Tottenham’s highest-paid player earning £200,000-per-week. He is the Premier League’s third-highest paid striker. Seven other players are paid more for their services including the league’s highest-paid player David De Gea, who earns £375,000-per-week. Kane’s salary is equivalent to teammate Tanguy Ndombele, who joined the club last summer, and is expected to leave in the coming offseason.
Although Tottenham Hotspur are valued at £2.6bn, it doesn’t mean the club will suddenly plunder the transfer market signing high-priced stars. Spurs are likely to continue along the same course they have followed.
