As football season ends, focus moves from pitch to market. In this series, I’ll assess the needs of clubs around Europe and suggest new signings. This week, it’s Tottenham Hotspur — an impartial first pick.

Relocation is a constant threat in American sports. If another city can offer a bigger media market or better facilities, owners will eagerly jump ship. Things are a bit different across the pond.

While awaiting further investment from ENIC, Spurs should spend the money they have more wisely. Years of poor recruitment have left the squad stale and bloated.

In considering how to lift Son to his former heights, I realized that saving Spurs doesn’t just mean reviving one man. It means elevating the entire team from the ground up.

An oligarch sets his sights on a new Premier League team every week, and the threat of a Super League looms large over Europe. In the concrete jungle of Berlin, one team is defying the odds.
