Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that the club is not for sale, despite reports of a record £4.5 billion takeover bid. The North London side said it had received informal expressions of interest from groups, but both the board and majority owner ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd rejected them outright. The ownership stated that Tottenham’s long-term strategy remains unchanged and that control of the club will not be transferred.
The reported offer came from a U.S.-based consortium led by entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick. According to reports, the bid included around £3.3 billion to purchase the club and an additional £1.2 billion to invest in transfers, wages, and infrastructure. Tottenham, however, made it clear that no formal offer had been made and that even if one was presented, the club is not available for takeover.
The timing of the reports followed major leadership changes within the club. Daniel Levy stepped down from his role as executive chairman earlier this year, and a new leadership structure was introduced, including a non-executive chair and a chief executive officer. The club’s board has since reaffirmed its position, insisting that ownership will remain with ENIC and the Lewis family.
Speculation around a possible sale was further fueled by mentions of other interested parties, including PCP International Finance led by Amanda Staveley and Firehawk Holdings. But PCP confirmed that it has no intention of submitting a takeover bid at this time. Under UK takeover rules, any formal offer or decision not to bid must be declared within a set deadline.
Despite the noise around takeover rumors, Tottenham remain focused on their future on and off the pitch. The club is preparing for upcoming fixtures while continuing to emphasize its long-term project, which ownership insists will not be disrupted by outside interest.
