Tottenham fans have been eager for takeover news as frustrations towards Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis intensify.
Some Spurs supporters have protested against ENIC’s ownership in recent times, amid concerns over the lack of significant investment in the playing staff as rivals strengthen their sides.
The Athletic have previously stated that Tottenham are the most likely to receive investment from QSI (Qatar Sports Investments) after Levy held talks with Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Now, there has been an update.
What’s the story?
Well, Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports believes “there is a real feeling” that Levy has met with more parties than just QSI.
If that is the case, then it would suggest that the 60-year-old is actively encouraging a takeover, or at least a minority sale, as he entertains discussions over Tottenham with a number of potential investors.
Jacobs adds that Levy is happy to give up 30% of Tottenham, although if QSI do decide to get involved with a Premier League club, they would only want closer to 15%.
You can see what Jacobs wrote in full on Twitter below.
While it isn’t a significant development, it does feel like a positive one for Tottenham fans.
Tottenham risk falling behind without takeover
In our view, Spurs risk falling out of the Premier League’s top six if Levy does not sell the club, or find some investment from elsewhere.
Newcastle have already gatecrashed the top four and look set to be there for a while with their Saudi owners happy to spend on signings, while Arsenal are also throwing money around as they sit top of the Premier League.
For example, the Gunners have just offered £60m for Moises Caicedo – according to Fabrizio Romano – while Manchester United are also on the up.
Fortunately for Spurs right now, Liverpool and Chelsea are struggling, but if things do not change at boardroom level for Tottenham, there is a real chance of them falling behind.
