Tottenham become second Premier League club to place non-playing staff on furlough as chairman Daniel Levy, who earns £3m-a-year, says 550 employees will lose 20 per cent of their pay amid coronavirus crisis

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has announced all 550 non-football playing directors and employees at the club will lose 20 per cent of their pay for the next two months.

Levy said the club intends to make use of the Government's furlough scheme to try and protect jobs with the wage cut applying to the months of April and May as the coronavirus crisis continues.

Levy was the highest-paid executive in the Premier League during the 2016-17 season, earning £6.013million, though Tottenham's 2019 accounts revealed this had been halved to £3m.
