Exclusive: Daniel Levy could accept £800m Tottenham offer
Daniel Levy’s shares in Tottenham’s majority ownership group are worth closer to £800million after a higher valuation has been speculated, sources have told Football Insider.
Despite leaving his role as executive chairman in September, Levy still has an indirect investment in Tottenham due to his 29.88 per cent share in ENIC, which owns 86.91 per cent of the club.
Bloomberg reported on 30 January the former Spurs chief is in talks to sell his stake in the British investment company to a consortium that includes Hong Kong businessman Ng Wing Fai.
It is believed the discussions revolve around a £1billion deal for Levy’s stake, with most of the capital coming from Asian business tycoons.
However, The Telegraph reported on Thursday (5 February) insiders have doubted whether the 63-year-old could receive £1bn for his shares, which hold no voting rights, place on the board or influence on matters at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Could Tottenham’s owners buy out Daniel Levy?
The remaining 70.12 per cent of ENIC is owned by former Tottenham owner Joe Lewis’s family trust.
Sources have told Football Insider Levy’s stake is likely to be worth closer to £800m given the lack of power it possesses.
It means the shares are more valuable to the Lewis family than any outside investors at this moment in time.
Football Insider revealed on Tuesday (3 February) Tottenham’s owners could be open to buying Levy’s stake if a suitable partner isn’t found.
There have been questions raised around whether the consortium in talks with Levy is the right group to come in alongside the Lewis family.
Lewis’s daughter Vivienne, his son Charles and Nick Beucher, the husband of Vivienne’s daughter, have become more actively involved in the running of Spurs over the past few months.
Who else has made moves to invest in Tottenham?
Levy’s departure led to takeover speculation emerging in north London.
Football Insider revealed in September Amanda Staveley was in talks about a Tottenham takeover.
However, Staveley’s company PCP International Finance released a statement confirming it didn’t intend to make an offer for Spurs.
Meanwhile, a US consortium led by tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick made an approach to buy Tottenham, but that was “unequivocally rejected” by the club.
Deloitte’s 2026 Money League has revealed Spurs’ revenue stood at £580m last season, with that figure boosted by £284m of commercial income.
In terms of on-field matters, Thomas Frank’s side currently sit 14th in the Premier League table, but they are into the last 16 of the Champions League.
