It was a summer of change for Tottenham with 13 players leaving the first team and development squad, not to mention those four summer signings.

A number of players moved on who the club have been looking to get off of the books for some time, but what does that mean on the financial side for Tottenham?

Let's look at the transfer fees first and how much Spurs and their chairman Daniel Levy put in the bank from those bits of business.

The deal that sent Kieran Trippier to Atletico Madrid is reported to be worth £20m. Vincent Janssen departed for Mexican side Monterrey for £8m, while Georges-Kevin Nkoudou joined Turkish outfit Beskitas for around £4m.

Josh Onomah went to Fulham as part of the £30m deal which saw Ryan Sessegnon come to Tottenham and it is mooted that Onomah was valued at around £5m.

Marcus Edwards left Spurs for Portuguese side Vitoria last week and while the fee for a player with just 10 months left on his contract is believed to be nominal, his new club hinted that the north London outfit have retained a 50% sell-on clause - as was also the claim about the deal for Nkoudou with Besiktas.

There were also players released with Fernando Llorente, Michel Vorm, Shayon Harrison, Connor Ogilvie, Dylan Duncan, Charlie Freeman, Jamie Reynolds and Tom Glover all leaving the club after their contracts came to an end.

That is a total of £37m brought in, not including those sell-on clauses which could yet bring in more to the kitty.

What often is not taken into account as well is the wage bill savings from those players moving on.

Using figures from financial data company Spotrac - although we should state these are still estimated figures - Spurs saved these weekly earnings for each player - Kieran Trippier £65,000, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou £35,000, Vincent Janssen £34,000 and Josh Onomah £30,000.

Choosing not to offer new deals on the same money to Llorente (£75,000) and Vorm (£40,000) also would saved plenty off the wages bill, not to mention the smaller weekly wages from the other young players who were let go.

In total, Spurs removed £279,000-a-week from their wage bill and £14.5m from their £90.8m wage bill from last season.

That does not include those young released players as well as loan deals and fees for a number of other young players outside the first team, including Cameron Carter-Vickers, who is reportedly on £20,000 a week wages, and is playing at Stoke this season.

That means even without those, Tottenham were £51.5m better off after their summer outgoings.

However, of course that has to be offset by the club's spending in the summer.

Levy authorised the signings of Tanguy Ndombele for £54m (potentially with £63m with future add-ons), Sessegnon for £25m, Giovani Lo Celso for a reported initial loan fee of £14m, with an option to buy him at any point for £51m, and Jack Clarke for £9m before he was loaned back to Leeds.

That means an initial outlay of £102m on new signings this summer, after two windows without any new players coming in. Take of the £37m in transfer fees and that's a £65m spend, not including any loan fees that came in from Leeds, Stoke and others who have Spurs players on their books this season.

In terms of wages, Spotrac have Ndombele as joint top earner alongside Harry Kane on £200,000 a week, Lo Celso on £70,000. They do not have a figure for Sessegnon, but there is some talk that the teenager is on around £30,000-a-week.

That means Tottenham have replaced those £279,000-a-week (£14.5m a year) wages from those who have left the club, not including the young players and loans out, with £300,000 coming in (£15.6m a year).

The figures show that Tottenham have once again been smart financially in their transfer dealings in and out in the wake of their new stadium build.

There should be more money in the kitty for further deals in January should Mauricio Pochettino require further reinforcements, a potential move again for Juventus star Paulo Dyabala, as well as that expected Lo Celso fee next summer, while there are still players like Victor Wanyama who could move on in the winter.

Pochettino expects a 'painful rebuild' at Tottenham Hotspur and he is trying to make it hurt as little as possible on the pitch, while Levy is looking to make it as painless as possible off of it.
