Despite a swathe of incomings in recent seasons, Tottenham Hotspur are at serious risk of relegation from the Premier League this term after struggling under both Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor.
A devastating 3-0 defeat at the hands of demotion rivals Nottingham Forest has left the Lilywhites 17th in the table, just one point above 18th-placed West Ham United.
Despite the likes of Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons making moves to Spurs worth more than £50m each in the summer of 2025, a potential mass exodus awaits at the end of the campaign should the Londoners fail to recover over the remaining seven top-flight games.
That being said, links to future signings such as Villarreal's Georges Mikautadze persist, and it is claimed that it would take a club-record deal for the La Liga star to make the switch.
As the threat of relegation looms alongside further transfer links, Sports Mole takes a look Tottenham's top 10 most expensive signings of all time.
