Daniel Levy's Tottenham exit could be confirmed within days after latest - verdict

Daniel Levy is still waiting for the sale of his Tottenham Hotspur stake to go through, but a collapse has appeared more likely recently.

The Lewis Family are now the ones making the decisions behind the scenes, proven by the eye-watering amount of money spent in the summer.

Of course, that tactic is yet to pay off on the pitch, with Roberto De Zerbi's side falling to the bottom of the Premier League table heading into the international break.

Levy was often criticised for his lack of spending, but it does have to be said that Spurs were rarely in this position during his reign in North London.

However, the 64-year-old is now looking to part ways with the Lilywhites, showing no more ambition to invest in the club anymore.

Eight Sports Capital were expected to buy 24.99 per cent of ENIC shares owned by Levy, and the former chairman's shares are still being diluted.

Daniel Levy could seal Tottenham exit soon

The Lewis Family most recently injected a further £120million into Spurs, taking their spending to £320m in the last 12 months.

Levy missed the previous deadline to match the majority owners, so this is only likely to have reduced his stake further, and that will only continue.

Despite all of this, people close to the situation have told Bloomberg that there is a confidence that an agreement will be reached soon.

Eight Sports is backed by Richard Tsai, a Taiwanese businessman, and it is believed that he could personally fund a deal, rather than through his business.

That would be an eye-watering amount of money, but noise coming out of Hotspur Way would suggest that a deal is right around the corner.

Former Tottenham chairman is being pushed out

The longer Levy waits to seal a deal, the worse off it will be for him, so the former chairman has every reason to reach an agreement soon.

It all appears to be getting very ugly behind the scenes, with the 64-year-old no longer on the club's payroll, and new investment slowly chasing him out.

Levy would argue that he deserves more respect than he's currently being shown, especially given the impressive stadium that he built over the years.

Ownership is an awful game in football, however, and the Lewis Family's takeover is creating quite an ugly scene, one that needs resolving quickly.
