The Lewis family has injected £100 million into Tottenham Hotspur in a bid to strengthen the club’s finances following what proved to be a disastrous campaign.

The capital injection, made through the purchase of new shares in ENIC Group, will provide fresh cash for the club’s treasury rather than being earmarked for this summer’s transfer market.

It marks the fourth capital injection in recent years through a similar mechanism, following another £100 million investment made last October.

The latest funding underlines the owners’ determination to restore Tottenham’s standing in the Premier League after the club finished last season in 17th place, narrowly avoiding relegation.

Peter Charrington, who was appointed non-executive chairman by the Lewis family following Daniel Levy’s resignation last year, had already stated at the end of the season that the family “would provide the stability and investment required at every level to move Tottenham forward.”

The North London club has been particularly active in the transfer market under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi.

Tottenham have already signed Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton for £52 million, while Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dúbravka have arrived as free agents.

Spurs are also pursuing high-profile moves for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in deals expected to be worth several million pounds.
