The good times continue to roll on Hotspur Way as Tottenham Hotspur enjoy a stunning start to the campaign. 

A recent win over Manchester City saw the Spurs fans in the Transfer Tavern erupt into raucous delight, prompting talk of a title challenge once more.

It seems so long since Andre Villas-Boas embarked on a disastrous spending spree following the departure of Gareth Bale in 2013, with a dynamic young side emerging from the Welshman’s ashes.

Though much of the then world-record fee the North London outfit received from Real Madrid three years ago was wasted, that is not a theme wholly indicative of their business in the market entirely.

Daniel Levy is often praised (or criticised, depending on who you support) for his hard-nosed nature when it comes to buying and selling, though it has consistently seen the club pull off transfer masterstrokes.

With that in mind, here are THREE of the best Spurs bargain buys of the last 10 years.

Dele Alli

The most obvious candidate, though Dele Alli simply must be included.

Joining from League One outfit MK Dons for a reported £5m, the midfield maestro has rapidly developed into one of the best in the country over the past year.

Now a key figure for both Spurs and England, the 20-year-old has the potential to make a huge mark in the European game.

Hugo Lloris

While a reported £11.8m may prove like an expensive outlay, the manner in which Hugo Lloris has established himself as one Europe’s top ‘keepers surely makes it a bargain.

The Frenchman is as classy between the sticks as they come and gives Spurs one of the most illustrious stoppers on the continent.

Gareth Bale

Signed as a teenager from Southampton, Gareth Bale took a while to get going in North London.

Though over £10m for a teenager is a hefty sum, the Welshman eventually developed into one of the best players in the world and the most expensive footballer of all time before this summer.

Considering the profit they made on the forward, Bale is one of the biggest bargains in the club’s history.
