Who is Brooklyn Earick? Ex-NASA employee's mission to Tottenham begins with stunning takeover move

Tottenham have faced wide speculation about their future ownership since Daniel Levy exited the club.

Spurs are reportedly worth over £4 billion, and have since attracted interest from potential buyers.

Levy was removed at Tottenham and that has left question marks in the boardroom, but the majority shareholders, ENIC, have reportedly rejected two expressions of interest for its stake Tottenham.

Interest has also arisen from a US consortium, headed by ex-NASA employee and ex-DJ, Brooklyn Earick.

Who is Brooklyn Earick?

Born in Bellefontaine, Ohio, Earick first made his name as a DJ at Sundance Music Festival, and from this secured a deal with Warner Records.

He eventually shifted from DJing and moved to San Francisco, where he secured an internship at NASA Ames as an electrical engineer in the small spacecraft division.

Earick founded Redacted RnD, a company that focuses on technology, sports, media and entertainment, and came close to acquiring Formula E team, Maserati MSG.

The Sun reported Earick is heading a 12-man consortium that is interested in purchasing the controlling stake in Tottenham Hotspur.

What could this mean for Spurs?

After Earick's takeover of Maserti MSG collapsed, he may approach this situation with more care.

The American brings the ability to boost commercial opportunities that Spurs missed out on during the Levy Era.

Even though Spurs were able to make exciting additions to their squad in the summer through Xavi Simons and Mohamed Kudus, they were still outspent by their competitors.

Earick's consortium could usher in a new dawn for Spurs and transform them into a global powerhouse with the ability to attract the world's best.
