Today, we reported that Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is set to take the club's amazing summer spending spree past the £100 million mark by bringing in some blockbuster signings. AVB has already spent almost £60 million on new recruits as it is. Striker Roberto Soldado has arrived from Valencia for £26 million, Paulinho has been signed from Corinthians for £17 million, another £9 million has been spent on Toulouses tienne Capoue while a further £7 million was forked out on FC Twentes Nacer Chadli. Those purchases have seen the Portuguese boss break Spur's transfer record twice with the acquisitions of Paulinho and then Soldado as the Lilywhites embark on the sort of spending spree you'd expect to see at London rivals Chelsea rather than at White Hart Lane. The splurging isn't showing any signs of slowing down, either, with Villas-Boas being linked with yet more world-class superstars in recent weeks. If you're wondering where all this money has suddenly come from, no, Tottenham haven't just been taken over by some billionaire oligarch. You need look to only one player as the reason for the latest profligacy - Gareth Bale. The Wales international looks primed to join Real Madrid this week, with the Spaniard's set to cough up £93 million. And, with money to burn, here, we take a look at 5 More Players Andre Villas-Boas Could Sign In Spending Spree. Click "Next" to begin.
