# Tottenham have ‘extra’ transfer cash to spend in January

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have ‘extra’ cash to spend in January thanks to their last 16 Champions League qualification, says ‘[expert](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-tottenham-have-extra-15-4m-to-spend-in-january-after-development-i-understand/)‘ John Wenham.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs sail through…

Over what was a dramatic Champions League group campaign for Antonio Conte’s side, Spurs sealed top spot of Group D on the very last matchday to the delight of Lilywhites supporters.

The north Londoners sealed a dramatic comeback against Ligue 1 side Marseille after going 1-0 down in France, courtesy of a Chancel Mbemba goal on the stroke of half time.

Tottenham’s resolve was tested but Clement Lenglet’s strike on 54 minutes handed the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) side some second-half momentum to grab a winner. Five minutes into added time, mainstay midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg nicked Tottenham’s victory-clinching goal with the last kick of the game – sending Spurs’ dugout into raptures.

The 2-1 victory at Marseille will gift sporting director Fabio Paratici a financial windfall as the Italian draws up his transfer plans ahead of January.

### The Latest: Paratici set for ‘£8.2 million’ Spurs boost…

The exact fee, as shared by Spurs ‘expert’ Wenham, could potentially provide a small assist for Spurs and Paratici in the transfer market.

Conte arguably needs some mid-winter additions given their wave of injury problems and an ever-congested fixture schedule, largely due to the World Cup.

*“The game against Marseille was so important,”* explained Wenham to [Football Insider.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-tottenham-have-extra-15-4m-to-spend-in-january-after-development-i-understand/)

*“The fact we have two league games before the World Cup in Liverpool and Leeds at home, to me, Marseille was the bigger game.*

*“Not only does it give us something to build upon and look forward to in the second half of this season, let’s call it a restart.*

*“It also gives us impetus in the January transfer window when we go to make new signings. We can offer Champions League football to whoever we want to sign.*

*“We will have an extra £8.2million, I understand that is the figure we earned for qualifying. So we have put ourselves in a really good position to grow as a club.*“

### The Verdict: Crucial game for Spurs…

Tottenham’s heroics have indeed put the club in a ‘really good position’, not least for the extra pulling power, £8.2m financial windfall and the potential to earn even more revenue in the knockout rounds.

Conte will also want to stay in charge of a Champions League regular, so their win in Europe could potentially be looked back on as one of their most important of the calendar year.
