4 things Tottenham need to do moving forward

#3 Loosen the wage structure

Toby Alderweireld could leave Tottenham

I am not suggesting paying wages beyond Tottenham's financial capacity. However, Spurs do need to increase their wage bill to a certain extent. Certain players require contract extensions with a significant boost in wages as a reward for consistently impressive performances.

Players deserving of such extensions include Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, and Son-Heung Min among others. Currently, as per ESPN reports, the highest-paid players at Tottenham earn around £110,000 a week. A significantly higher amount is required to ensure players stay at the club. Tottenham fans are increasingly resigned to the sale of Alderweireld.

This would be a significant step back for Tottenham. Tottenham's refusal to pay Alderweireld the wages he desires and deserves is the primary reason for his departure. To progress further, Tottenham needs to pay players of the quality of Alderweireld wages they would earn elsewhere.

Wages, if not similar, should at least be closer to those given at other top clubs. If Tottenham does lose Alderweireld, then they need to purchase an adequate replacement.
