Tottenham Hotspur are staying in the Premier League for another season after beating Everton to secure their top-flight status at the expense of West Ham United
Tottenham Hotspur have avoided their revenues dropping by as much as £270million after staying in the Premier League for another season.
Spurs beat Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to secure safety on the final day of the season after a goal late in the first half from Joao Palhinha. That win means Tottenham finish 17th for a second consecutive year, with West Ham United relegated at their expense despite their 3-0 victory over Leeds United.
Two points separated the two clubs. Spurs’ far superior goal difference (-9 vs -19) would have given Tottenham the edge if they were level on points.

The Times reported on Saturday that data firm Ampere Sports believed the club’s revenues could drop by £270 million in the event of relegation. They estimated that income from sponsorship and TV rights would roughly halve, from a combined £283million in the 2024/25 season to £143million next term.
The publication quoted media and sports analyst Francois Godard. They said relegation is “like a government contractor losing a big deal to build a motorway or a high-speed rail line.”
Spurs are already losing £35million from last season due to not qualifying for UEFA competition. West Ham, in comparison, were not in Europe.
