Over the years, Tottenham Hotspur have made some questionable signings, many of which have proven to be a huge waste of money and cost the club millions.
After Gareth Bale’s departure to Real Madrid back in 2013, the club had a huge sum to invest back into the playing squad, but unfortunately, the players brought in weren’t up to the level required of the Premier League.
Erik Lamela and Roberto Soldado both arrived at White Hart Lane back in the summer of 2013, but during their respective times in North London, they could only muster a combined 53 goals – a measly tally after such heavy investment.
However, after their new stadium, there has been an ambition shown by owner Daniel Levy to take the club to the very top of the division and potentially fight for a title.
He spent a huge amount of money last season, investing in various key players, including one star who’s enjoyed a continued run in the first team under Ange Postecoglou this season.
Brennan Johnson’s stats for Tottenham
After arriving from fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest last summer for a reported £47.5m, there were real expectations on the shoulders of Brennan Johnson to produce the goods in front of goal.
Whilst he enjoyed a successful first season in the capital, registering 15 goal contributions in all competitions, but after a poor start this season, his Spurs career would take a turn no one expected.
