Tottenham's chairman Daniel Levy has insisted that the construction of the club's brand new stadium has had no affect on their recent transfer policy.
The north London outfit hit the headlines in August when they became the first Premier League club since 2003 to fail to make a single signing in the summer transfer window. This drew plenty of criticism from supporters, who felt that their club was standing still whilst their closest rivals took great strides forward with multiple new signings.
Levy, in a meeting between the club and Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust, said, as per BBC Sport: "The club had based the summer window on certain assumptions that some players might be leaving and certain targets would be available".
