TOTTENHAM TRANSFER TAKEAWAYS

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12515202/tottenham-transfers-tanguy-ndombele-and-dele-alli-exits-adama-traore-through-the-door Chelsea are the biggest earners from match-going fans in the Premier League making more than £1,600 in tickets, merchandise and food and drink from every supporter at Stamford Bridge each season, according to a new analysis for Sportsmail. The study by the University of Liverpool reveals a huge disparity in what top flight teams take on match days, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs all making more than £1,500 per fan each season. Manchester United earn £1,488, but remarkably they now make only £43 more per fan from match day than they did 10 years ago, while Manchester City take around £1,000 per fan despite huge growth over the decade as their commercial operation catches up with their on-field success. As a result, the biggest clubs are working hard on how to bring in money from more expensive tickets and additional hospitality. At the same time, fans are complaining about the price of tickets, with more than half responding to a Football Supporters’’ Association survey last month saying the cost of the match is now prohibitive. ‘Clubs like Arsenal and Spurs, which have Supporters’ 60,000-capacity stadiums are charging an arm and leg for fans to watch,’ Kieran Maguire, football finance expert at the University of Liverpool, told Sportsmail. ‘Chelsea is heading to a £4,000 season ticket next year. The prices are steep, but people are willing to pay them, they are prepared to stump up. ‘Some clubs, especially the London clubs, have a fan base that is more diverse in terms of wealth.’ Interestingly, Tottenham Hotspur have almost doubled their matchday income prior to moving onto their new stadium and during a period in which they were based at Wembley Stadium for two seasons. Spurs' future matchday income is expected to take off following the opening of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has unrivaled food and drinks facilities, as well as a range of premium seating.
