10 most expensive signings by Tottenham Hotspur

#3 Roberto Soldado – €30 million

Ad

Roberto Soldado signed for Tottenham in the 2013 summer window for a club record €30 million. Coming off a splendid season with Valencia where he had scored 30 goals in the 2012-13 season, the Spanish striker was very much a hot property in the transfer market. He was one of the marquee signings to replace the outgoing Gareth Bale.

The striker’s first English season was lukewarm in comparison, though. He found the net 11 times in 36 appearances for the club. The second season proved even more abysmal for the Spaniard. He only scored a single Premier League goal with goals from other competitions taking his tally to 5.

His performances became a constant joke as he only managed to score one goal in the 2014 calendar year. To regain his confidence back and reinvigorate his playing career, he switched back to Spanish pastures, heading to Villareal in August 2015.
