The 10 transfers Spurs should sign ‘without breaking the bank’

With Champions League qualification seemingly on the horizon and talk this morning of offering Gareth Bale an eye-watering £130,000-a-week, it seems Tottenham Hotspur may well be splashing a bit of cash should they ensure a top-four finish.

But as we all know, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is one of the most prudent in the business and if there are savings to be made somewhere, you can be sure the head honcho at White Hart Lane will find them. Furthermore, with the wage bill in N17 likely to trigger a fair few Champions League based incentives within the squad and a new stadium project that’s said to require a spot of penny pinching, it might not necessarily be the summer of luxurious spending that some may think.

So should Andre Villas-Boas be looking for a spot of shopping that doesn’t break the bank, we’ve decided to help him out, conjuring up a top ten of players that fit the bill without bleeding the coffers dry.
