Tottenham Hotspur's most expensive sales ever

Sports Mole looks at the most expensive sales in Tottenham Hotspur's distinguished history.

Amid their painful trophyless streak stretching all the way back to the 2007-08 season, Tottenham Hotspur have unsurprisingly seen several revered names depart in search of silverware down the years.

Many of those expensive sales did manage to fulfil their trophy ambitions elsewhere, and whether Spurs reinvested the money received well for each of them is firmly up for debate.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the most expensive sales in Tottenham Hotspur's distinguished history.
