Tottenham's true net spend revealed after transfer deadline day

Tottenham Hotspur completed their summer business early which resulted in a rather quiet transfer deadline day in terms of new signings.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho was desperate to add a new striker before the transfer deadline and got his wish with the signing of Carlos Vinicius on a loan deal from Benfica.

Despite a failure to land a new centre-back, the north London outfit can be very happy with their business with Mourinho strengthening his squad in several key areas.

Carlos Vinicius' arrival was the Lilywhites' sixth major signing of the window in total.

Joe Hart arrived on a free transfer early in the window, after his contract at Burnley expired at the end of last season, whilst central midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was signed from Premier League rivals Southampton to add more depth in the engine room.

Matt Doherty sealed his move from Wolves whilst Spurs completed a double raid on Real Madrid to excite supporters.

Left-back Sergio Reguilon was snapped up despite being linked with a move to Manchester United, and arguably the club's biggest deal of the summer was bringing back Gareth Bale on loan.

Kyle Walker-Peters' departure was one of three permanent exits during the window as Jan Vertonghen sealed a free transfer to Benfica and Michel Vorm was released after his contract expired.

Meanwhile, several others have left on loan.

Ryan Sessegnon has joined Hoffenheim, Oliver Skipp is getting first-team football with Norwich City in the Championship and Juan Foyth will spend the season with Villarreal in La Liga.

In total, Tottenham spent £59.7million in the summer window, according to figures on transfermarkt.

The total sum raised by Walker-Peters' sale was £11.97million.

This means Tottenham's total net spend in the window was: £47.73million.
