Tottenham takeover: Sources issue Daniel Levy update as billionaires hold talks
Daniel Levy is playing a major role as Tottenham are subject to takeover interest from foreign parties.
There is understood to be legitimate interest from the Qataris to purchase the North London outfit.
Levy is holding out for a £3.75billion valuation if there is legitimate interest in a full takeover in the coming months.
United States billionaires and private equity funds have been in Tottenham takeover talks
It’s understood that the Qataris are not the only ones to have shown a legitimate interest in sealing a takeover or buying a stake in the Lilywhites.
Bloomberg report that investors including American billionaires and private equity funds have held talks over the last 18 months over buying the club.
Sources claim that while Levy has been viewed as one of the major reasons for the London outfit to become such an attractive proposition, he is also the main reason why no concrete buyer has emerged.
The Englishman and his family hold a 29.4 per cent stake in ENIC and despite the financial success, the on-field success has been lacking.
This is primarily why he is heavily disliked by the fans as some of his decisions behind the scenes have stopped the club from progressing.
Spurs need to be rid of Daniel Levy and ENIC
With no silverware won in nearly two decades, it’s evident that Spurs are the worst of the traditional “big six” clubs in the Premier League.
Under their stewardship since 2001, Tottenham have secured just one trophy which was the 2008 League Cu, despite boasting a world-class stadium and training facilities.
Levy’s focus on profit over footballing ambition has led to a conservative transfer strategy, prioritising young and resaleable players over proven talent, leaving managers like Mauricio Pochettino and Antonio Conte under-resourced to compete for major honors.

| Tottenham | 13th | 10 | 3 | 14 |
The club’s £1.2billion stadium debt, coupled with ENIC’s reluctance to inject significant personal funds, evidenced by their £194 million contribution over 23 years compared to newer owners outpacing them, highlights a misalignment of priorities.
Fans point to a pattern of managerial instability and a trophy drought stretching over 17 years as proof that Levy’s business-first approach stifles sporting progress.
For Spurs to reclaim their historical glory and compete with the Premier League’s elite, a shift to ownership willing to prioritise footballing success over commercial gain is essential.
