\n James Maddison<\/strong>

\n \u00a340m from Leicester City<\/strong>

\n
\n
\n \"james-maddison-spurs-europa-league\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Starting off the countdown is attacking midfielder James Maddison, who swapped Leicester City for Spurs following the Foxes\u2019 relegation in 2023.<\/p>\n

Maddison has featured heavily for Tottenham since signing his five-year contract, with Spurs pipping Newcastle United to a deal.<\/p>\n

\n 9 <\/span>
\n
\n Pedro Porro<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a340m from Sporting CP<\/strong>

\n
\n
\n \"pedro-porro-spurs-man-city-premier-league\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Another \u00a340m<\/a> signing is Pedro Porro, who was previously on the books with Manchester City and returned to England in January 2023 with Tottenham.<\/p>\n

He arrived on loan with an obligation to make a deal permanent in the summer from Sporting CP, and that was worth around \u00a340m<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n 8 <\/span>
\n
\n Archie Gray<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a340m from Leeds United<\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"Archie\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Archie Gray appears to be a star in the making which resulted in Ange Postecoglou and Spurs spending big on his services from Leeds United in 2024.<\/p>\n

As part of a deal for the youngster, Leeds signed Joe Rodon, but it looks as if a total package for Gray cost up to \u00a340m<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n 7 <\/span>
\n
\n Davinson Sanchez<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a342m from Ajax<\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"Davinson\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Centre-back Davinson Sanchez was a club-record signing when he arrived from Ajax for \u00a342m<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino was the man in charge when Sanchez moved to England and the Colombia international made more than 200 appearances for the club before leaving for Galatasaray in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n 6 <\/span>
\n
\n Cristian Romero<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a342.5m from Atalanta<\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"Cristian-Romero-Spurs-Tottenham\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Another defender who cost Spurs big money is Cristian Romero, who arrived from Atalanta in 2021.<\/p>\n

The Argentinian has shone for club and country, winning the Copa America and being voted Serie A’s best defender, which prompted Tottenham to spend \u00a342.5m<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daniel Levy may well have overseen things, but it was perhaps the best thing Nuno Espirito Santo did for the club during his short spell in charge.<\/p>\n

\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"Tottenham\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Centre-back Micky van de Ven, who made the move to north London in 2023, signed from Wolfsburg for just under an initial \u00a335m<\/a>, with the total fee potentially rising to \u00a343m.<\/p>\n

He quickly impressed in the Premier League with his pace and power at the back, and all going well, Van de Ven will at least be with Spurs until 2029.<\/p>\n

\n 4 <\/span>
\n
\n Brennan Johnson<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a347.5m from Nottingham Forest<\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"Tottenham\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A deadline day signing in September 2023, Brennan Johnson cost Tottenham \u00a347.5m<\/a> from Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

The Wales international, capable of playing anywhere across the front three, signed a contract through to 2028 and will be hoping to repay that fee over the coming years.<\/p>\n

\n 3 <\/span>
\n
\n Richarlison<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a360m from Everton<\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"richarlison-tottenham-premier-league\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

After eye-catching spells in England with Watford and Everton, Tottenham decided to spend an initial \u00a350m<\/a> on Richarlison in 2022, with his transfer potentially totalling \u00a360m including add-ons.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian\u2019s first season was a struggle, scoring just once in 27 Premier League games. However, he has shown glimpses of brilliance in north London and is under contract until 2027.<\/p>\n

\n 2 <\/span>
\n
\n Tanguy Ndombele<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a362.8m from Lyon<\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"Ndombele-Spurs-Premier-League-Postecoglou\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Midfielder Tanguy Ndombele became Tottenham’s record signing when he joined in 2019, but his move from Lyon didn’t work out.<\/p>\n

Signed by Mauricio Pochettino just months before the Argentinian manager was sacked, it proved to be a poor misjudgement from the Spurs boss.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman signed a six-year contract and cost a whopping \u00a355m<\/a>, while his deal could have reached \u00a362.8m with add-ons. However, after making 91 appearances and struggling in England, Ndombele had his contract terminated in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n 1 <\/span>
\n
\n Dominic Solanke<\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n

\n \u00a365m from Bournemouth<\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n \"solanke-spurs\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Tottenham\u2019s record signing is striker Dominic Solanke, who arrived from Bournemouth in the summer.<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea and Liverpool attacker could end up costing \u00a365m with add-ons, but when Spurs completed the deal, they agreed a deal worth a potential \u00a365m<\/a>, with Solanke under contract until 2030.<\/p>\n
