Further serious bidders are now showing interest in Tottenham as speculation around the club’s ownership continues to grow.
Despite mounting outside attention, ENIC have continued to hold firm on its position that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale, even as multiple consortia have explored potential takeover bids in recent weeks.
Earick’s consortium’s informal expression of interest in purchasing Tottenham was swiftly dismissed, with reports suggesting it could have been worth around £4.5 billion – a figure that would have broken records for a football club acquisition.
In addition, PCP International Finance Limited, alongside a consortium led by Dr Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng, also saw their attempts to engage Tottenham in sale discussions turned down last month, further emphasising ENIC’s reluctance to part ways with the club.
Serious bidders still showing interest in Tottenham despite ENIC investment
The Lewis family have since made a clear statement of intent by injecting £100 million into Tottenham, underlining their commitment to maintaining control and silencing any suggestions of a possible sale.
Journalist Miguel Delaney has now revealed in his Inside Football newsletter for The Independent (10/10/25) that there is still notable interest from the market.
Delaney reports that takeover insiders are still keeping a particularly close eye on Tottenham’s situation, writing: “Meanwhile, despite the noise around United, those who work on takeovers are paying much more attention to Spurs.
“And the Lewis family deny the club is for sale, but there are at least two serious bidders who – typically – have not yet come to light. One rival chief executive is already describing Spurs as ‘the best opportunity in the Premier League right now.’”
Why Tottenham remain an attractive investment opportunity
Following their recent investment, ENIC’s majority stake in the club rose from 86.58 per cent to 87.62 per cent.
From ENIC’s overall shareholding, the Lewis Family Trust own 70.12 per cent, while former chairman Daniel Levy and other family members collectively hold the remaining 29.88 per cent.
Finance expert Kieran Maguire offered insight into why Tottenham continue to attract significant investment interest despite their on-pitch inconsistencies.
Maguire explained that Tottenham’s infrastructure and financial model make them an exceptionally appealing proposition for potential buyers.
