Tottenham’s worst ever signings including Spanish and English stars

Tottenham have already concluded a massive deal to sign Ivan Perisic, with the Croat’s contract at Inter Milan coming to an end.

The pacey and experienced winger will bring his wide skillset to North London, with Antonio Conte looking to build a team that can compete for the title and also do well in Europe.

Spurs fans believe they finally have a manager they can trust with a winning mentality that they have craved since the days of Mauricio Pochettino.

They have been linked with some of the best players from Italy since Conte took over and they are knocking on the door for Alessandro Bastoni.

Last January, they added the impressive Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski on-loan and they have decided to make Kulusevski’s deal permanent.

The club have shown more ambition and willingness to back the manager in the last six months than they did in the previous two years, and things are looking up at N17 at the moment.

Chairman Daniel Levy though has been very cautious with big money deals having been burnt by some previous transfers which have backfired.

When he sold Gareth Bale to Real Madrid, Spurs splashed the cash on the magnificent seven and it’s fair to say it was only Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen who came out of those signing with flying colours.

With the enthusiasm building for the summer, let’s take a look back at some of the signings the Lillywhites did which looked promising but ultimately proved costly in the end.
