Tottenham haven’t won a trophy since the 2008 League Cup and haven’t won the title for 62 years but they’ve finally topped a Premier League table — for interest payments.
Spurs forked out £22.2million in interest on loans last season, the highest figure of any club in the top flight, surpassing even the infamously interest-amassing Manchester United, who spent ‘only’ £20.6m.
Tottenham’s payments relate to £853m in outstanding loans, borrowed to build the 62,000-seat stadium.
Spurs’ chairman Daniel Levy saw his remuneration increase 22 per cent, from £2.7m to £3.
