Spurs could be facing fresh takeover speculation after a familiar investor – Amanda Staveley – was seen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
ENIC continue to hold a majority stake at Tottenham Hotspur with their 86.58% ownership, while the remaining shares belong to minority investors.
Spurs remains one of the most financially stable clubs in England, turning steady profits season after season, which naturally makes it an attractive proposition for investors across the globe.
Over the years, several consortia have shown interest in buying the club outright, but the Lewis Family has consistently maintained that Tottenham is not for sale, despite the offers placed on the table.
Among the most notable of those approaches was a record £4.5 billion bid rumoured to have come from Earick’s consortium, which ENIC ultimately turned down.
Amanda Staveley spotted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium amid takeover talks
With the Premier League season now paused for the October international break, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has once again transformed into a multi-purpose venue, hosting an NFL clash between the Minnesota Vikings and the Cleveland Browns.
According to Alan Nixon, among those spotted at the event was former Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley, alongside members of Joe Lewis’ family who were also seen in attendance.
Staveley is understood to be leading a Qatari-backed consortium exploring a potential bid for Tottenham, and according to claims, the former Newcastle United co-owner and her backers remain open to pursuing a deal to acquire Spurs if the circumstances are right.
However, it is understood that Tottenham has already rejected an initial expression of interest from her firm, PCP International Finance Limited, indicating that no formal discussions are currently underway.
Could the Lewis Family ever sell Tottenham Hotspur?
It remains uncertain whether the Lewis Family would ever decide to part ways with Tottenham Hotspur, as their position has consistently been that the club is not on the market.
Yet, football often shifts quickly, and that sentiment could change if a truly irresistible offer emerged.
Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has voiced his belief that the family might eventually consider selling, but only if a valuation that meets their expectations is reached.
That, however, feels some distance away at present. The Lewis Family’s focus appears to have turned towards strengthening the football side of the operation, with reports indicating a willingness to invest further during the upcoming transfer windows.
