The investment comes as Spurs look to bounce back from a disastrous Premier League season, which saw them narrowly avoid relegation.

Tottenham finished 17th for the second year in a row, two points above the bottom three as they secured their safety on the final day.

And their biggest investors now appear intent on transforming the club’s fortunes heading into the new season.

Spurs are majority-owned by ENIC, with British billionaire Joe Lewis’ family trust holding a 70 per cent in the investment company.

Their £100m cash injection is the latest Spurs have received from the family, who are following through on their pledge to back the club.

In the last nine months, the Lewis have invested £200m into the north London outfit.

talkSPORT also understands further investment is to follow.

Serious business

Tottenham finished the season with clear promises from their hierarchy that there would be more investment in the summer.

Non-executive chairman Peter Charrington was appointed by the Lewis family following Daniel Levy’s exit last September.

At the end of the season, Charrington penned an open letter to the clubs supporters promising financial backing.

He said that the Lewis family “will provide the stability and investment needed at every level to move us forward.”

Busy summer

Tottenham have been one of the Premier League’s most active clubs in the transfer market so far this summer.

Spurs have already completed the signing of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, with the Dutch World Cup star joining in a £52m deal.

They have also recruited shrewdly, bringing in several experienced free agents.

Defenders Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson have both moved to north London following the expiration of their contracts at Liverpool and Bournemouth.

Martin Dubravka has followed more recently, with Spurs snapping up the veteran goalkeeper after his time at Burnley came to an end.
