Tottenham are expected to announce within the next week a club-record annual revenue of over £400m, according to Football Insider.
That would eclipse the £380.7m figure that Spurs recorded for the previous tax year, with significant rises in income for broadcasting, as well as match day and commercial following the opening of the new stadium.

Football Insider also understands we pocketed £85m from the run to the Champions League final. Nearly as much as I spent on beer after the Ajax game.
However, profits are expected to be down from last year’s post-tax gain of £112.9m which was the highest ever registered in the Premier League.
Possibly because we actually signed some players this year, even though the likes of Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso are yet to repay much of that investment on the pitch.
And don’t think that the increase in revenue is going to be ringfenced for Jose Mourinho to make further signings. Because history tells you it won’t be.
This report suggests that we are already seeing the money-making power of the new stadium, but that may only lead to more frustration when the recruitment doesn’t match up.
