Tottenham overtake Man United as new squad values revealed after late Daniel Levy spends
Tottenham underwent a rollercoaster transfer window, headlined by landmark arrivals and departures in North London.
Mohammed Kudus was the most expensive Spurs signing of the summer for £55million from West Ham, closely followed by Xavi Simons.
As for sales, Son Heung-min left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the most high-profile withdrawal from the Premier League club.
Now, Tottenham News reveals the new value of Thomas Frank’s squad with the transfer window closed.
Tottenham climb above Man United amid squad value update
Tottenham and Man United have been embroiled in a new rivalry ever since last season.

From the Europa League final to legal battles off the pitch, the two have seemed to be intertwined, but that is all changing.
Spurs started the season magnificently under Frank, with a demolition against Burnley and a statement victory against Man City, while United have floundered.
Both sides have invested heavily during this window, with the Premier League pair strengthening in attacking areas.
As a result, Tottenham’s total squad market value is now £774.7million, according to Transfermarkt.
Furthermore, the value of their squad has increased by 7.1 per cent since 15 August, overtaking the Red Devils in the process.
Daniel Levy’s late additions of Simons and Randal Kolo Muani would have affected that figure, as Spurs now boast the fifth most valuable squad in the Premier League.
Why Spurs’ squad value should continue to increase
Tottenham have been handed a favourable Champions League draw, meaning they have a superb opportunity to progress in the competition.
If they manage to do just that, then the value of their squad is bound to increase, especially if they deliver top performances.
Furthermore, they possess a host of young players whose stock should continue to rise over the course of the season.
Micky van de Ven (24), Pape Matar Sarr (22), and Lucas Bergvall (19) are just three examples of talents who have made significant strides in a Tottenham shirt.
Under the stewardship of Frank, performances have been encouraging, and if he can maintain his high standards, then they should challenge the four most valuable squads in the Premier League.
