The news of Daniel Levy’s exit from Tottenham has come as a shock not just to Tottenham fans but also to investors, who had shown an interest in buying a stake in the North London club.
Over the last 12 months, Spurs Web has followed all the developments and speculation regarding various consortia around the world showing an interest in buying a stake in Tottenham.
We have heard that a group of private investors from Qatar have explored a takeover of Spurs.
It was even suggested earlier this summer that Tottenham were in talks over selling a minority stake in a deal which values the whole club at £5 billion.
Prospetive Tottenham buyers surprised by Daniel Levy’s exit
Over the past 24 hours, it has been rumoured that Levy’s departure could be a prelude to the Lewis family selling Tottenham.
However, The Athletic point out that with Levy out of the picture, the Lewis family will have to now oversee any negotiations.
The outlet says that at this moment, no imminent takeover of Tottenham is particularly close.
It is revealed that prospective buyers were as surprised as anyone that Spurs have decided to part ways with Levy out of the blue.
The Lewis family have a clear focus for Spurs
The Athletic say that despite the ongoing rumours of a sale, the Lewis family’s first order of business does not involve seeking any outside investment.
Instead, their priority is to make the team more successful and consistent on the pitch. While this is encouraging for Spurs fans to hear, the proof will be in the pudding.
Given that officially, ENIC have only invested just £122.1m into Tottenham since buying the club in 2001, Spurs fans will have to see the investment to believe it.
