Tottenham, where Daniel Levy stepped down, is expected to be a different Tottenham than before.

Tottenham announced Levy's resignation on its official website on the 5th (Korea time). The club said `Levy stepped down as chairman of the board after about 25 years.' The club will then join the board of directors and take on the newly established non-executive chairman position. All of this is the process by which clubs lay the groundwork to achieve long-term sporting success.

Tottenham said it was Levy's resignation, but leading British media are simultaneously reporting that it is nothing short of Levy being cut. Most analysts say that the family of owner Joe Lewis kicked out chairman Levi in order to be reborn as Tottenham under the new system.

The British Telegraph also reported on the 7th that Levi's retirement from Tottenham will be held in conjunction with new large-scale investments through the Lewis Family Trust and ENIC in order for the club to achieve continuous sporting success. More than 100 million pounds (about 187.6 billion won) will be spent on the club, reflecting ENIC's willingness to maintain Tottenham's competitiveness in all areas. Reporter Matt Roe, who wrote the article, is very knowledgeable about Tottenham's internal information.




The media stressed that Levi's retirement was not part of the club's sale plan, meaning investment must be made to compete with Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal. Club insiders have been arguing for some time that new investments are needed, to cover transfer contracts and to enable spending in the future transfer market. Now it looks like that investment is about to be made,' he added.

The Telegraph predicted that Tottenham will move again to recruit Savinho in the upcoming January transfer market. The media explained that Manchester City's bid to sign Savinho was not ruled out for a resumption in January, with manager Thomas Frank wanting to sign a new central defender. Savinho is the player Tottenham wanted the most as a substitute for Son Heung-min. In this summer's transfer market, he sent an offer that exceeded the Tottenham club's all-time transfer fee, but failed to recruit him due to Man City's stubborn refusal.

The fact that Tottenham did not give up on Savinho means that they still need a player who can replace Son Heung-min. This can be interpreted in the club's recent moves. The resources to play on the left are Matisse Tel and Wilson O'Dowbert, who excluded Tel from the European Champions League (UCL) roster. In other words, coach Frank is not sure about Tel's recent performance.

Hishalisson, Xavi Simmons and Brennan Johnson are also players who can play on the left but can better show their capabilities in other positions. Tottenham seems to want to replace Son Heung-min by recruiting Savinho as he played on the right side of Manchester City, but showed more explosive performance on the left side during Girona.
