Tottenham’s activity in the January transfer window reflects the club’s well-run business operations, according to Paul Robinson, despite what he calls “possibly the worst transfer window we’ve ever had” due to FFP concerns stifling spending across the league.
Amid a market “grinding to a halt” and rivals wary of breaching FFP rules, Tottenham made decisive moves early in the window, securing Timo Werner on a £15 million loan-to-buy deal from RB Leipzig and acquiring Radu Dragusin from Genoa for £26.7 million. They also outmaneuvered Barcelona to secure a deal for Swedish wonderkid Lucas Bergvall.
Kieran Maguire previously named Spurs under Daniel Levy as the “best run business” in the Premier League, and Robinson believes the winter window exemplified this. However, he emphasized that success on the pitch must accompany the club’s financial prudence.
Robinson stated, “With a well-run business, with a sustainable business, with the richest club in London, there has to come success on the pitch.”
Tottenham’s purchase of Radu Dragusin stands out as the biggest single signing in the Premier League during a window marked by reduced spending compared to previous years, reflecting the club’s financial strength.
While financial stability and signings are important, the ultimate goal remains winning games and trophies. Tottenham will need to translate their financial and transfer activities into on-field success to fulfill their ambitions.
