Daniel Levy’s greatest Tottenham XI, featuring Harry Kane, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric

Daniel Levy has departed Tottenham Hotspur after nearly 25 years as chairman, marking the end of an era for the club. During his tenure, he became the longest-serving chairman in Premier League history, overseeing a period that included a Carabao Cup win in 2008 and a Europa League victory in 2024, though silverware was rare overall.

In light of his departure, a selection of the standout players from his time has been compiled into Levy's greatest Spurs XI. The team includes Hugo Lloris in goal, who captained the side for nine years and led them to the 2019 Champions League final, despite not winning a trophy with the club.

The defense features Jan Vertonghen, a fan favorite and astute signing who formed a reliable partnership with Toby Alderweireld; Ledley King, a one-club man and club legend who captained Spurs to the 2008 Carabao Cup; and Kyle Walker, a dynamic full-back whose transfer to Manchester City generated a significant fee.

In midfield, Luka Modric is highlighted as one of the finest playmakers to represent Tottenham, later winning the Ballon d'Or at Real Madrid. Christian Eriksen is recognized as the creative heartbeat with numerous goals and assists, including a key role in the 2019 Champions League run. Mousa Dembele is noted for his unique blend of power and technical skill, with many considering him one of the best of the Levy era.

The attacking roles include Aaron Lennon on the right, known for his pace and directness over 364 appearances, and Gareth Bale on the left, who transformed into a global superstar and secured a world-record move to Real Madrid after a phenomenal 2012-13 season.

Up front, Harry Kane is named as the greatest striker of the Levy era and Tottenham's all-time top scorer, combining finishing and creativity. Heung-min Son is also included, praised for his pace, flair, and goal-scoring prowess, including winning the Premier League Golden Boot and the FIFA Puskas Award, solidifying his status as a legendary signing.
