Former Tottenham football chief Frank Arnesen has defended chairman Daniel Levy, despite his lack of football know-how.
Spurs are undergoing a difficult transfer market after key attacking targets Luis Diaz and Adama Traore chose Liverpool and Barcelona respectively, with both players snubbing a move to Antonio Conte's side in the process.
And Arnesen, who was Tottenham's director of football between 2004 and 2005, believes Levy is very good at delegating to his sporting director or coach about football matters, as he has no knowledge of the game himself.
Arnesen told The Athletic: "You also have clubs where there are owners who are very hands-on and they want to do the negotiations, like Tottenham. Daniel does it himself and is very good at it.
"But he has no understanding about the football game and doesn't interfere if you want a left-back or a right winger. He trusts his manager and the sporting director to do that work."
