Tottenham Hotspur: Summer 2015 completed transfers

• 1/7 IN: Kevin Wimmer (Koln) £4m

  Wimmer was crucial to Koln’s promotion to the Bundesliga and then performed admirably the following year.

• 3/7 OUT: Paulinho (Guangzhou Evergrande) Undisclosed

  Just because he’s Brazilian, it doesn’t mean he’ll be any good. Spurs failed to recognise this in shelling out £15m on Paulinho. Jamie Carragher agreed and bet Gary Neville that he’d score fifteen goals in his second season. Zero goals later, Carragher will wear a Manchester United shirt on a Monday Night Football recording this season.

• 4/7 OUT: Lewis Holtby (Hamburg) Undisclosed

  Signed to much fanfare as young German playmakers came into fashion, Holtby flattered to deceive.

• 5/7 OUT: Younes Kaboul (Sunderland) Undisclosed

  Kaboul was made Tottenham’s club captain by Mauricio Pochettino but soon lost his place after a series of poor displays.

• 6/7 OUT: Benjamin Stambouli (Paris Saint Germain) £6m

  Thought to be set for Watford along with his compatriot Capoue, Stambouli was offered an unexpected route into the Champions League with PSG. Surprising though it was, it was hardly a shock that Stambouli jumped at the chance.

• 7/7 Vlad Chiriches (Napoli) Undisclosed

  The centre-back showed enough promise to suggest that he might be one of few successes of AVB’s post-Bale cash splurge. However, that promise has faded and Spurs appear happy to cash in.
