LONDON. – Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy says the English Premier League soccer’s big-spending is “totally unsustainable” and believes the likes of Manchester City will face consequences for their prodigality in the future.

Spurs are the only English Premier League club yet to make a summer signing, despite selling England defender Kyle Walker to City for a deal that could reach £50 million – a record for an English player.

By contrast, the rest of last season’s top seven clubs have all bought at least one player for £30m or more, while the capture of Benjamin Mendy took City’s summer spending past the £200m mark.

Levy, who is notorious for extracting value from the transfer market, believes the spending will eventually “catch up” with Tottenham’s rivals. – ESPN.
