10 most expensive signings by Tottenham Hotspur

#1 Heung-Min Son– €30 million

Heung-Min Son signed for Tottenham in a deal worth club record €30 million from Bayer Leverkusen. This transfer made him the most expensive Asian player in football history in 2015, a record he still holds.

The South Korean international had set the world alight in his former club, Bayer Leverkusen as a blistering fast winger with an uncanny ability to knock in goals. In fact, he had scored 17 goals for Leverkusen in his last season there.

The winger found life a little tough in his first season in the English Premier League, with his impact fairly average in this Tottenham side. But these are some things one generally expects to happen to a foreign player. Even the manager has not played him as a starter in most of the games, using him as an impact sub in many high-profile clashes.

And whether this transfer turns out to be a Lamela or a Soldado, does seem to be the question in North London (in the ‘white’ areas, at least).
