Tottenham Takeover Exclusive: Big update emerges today
Tottenham’s on-field performances are harming Daniel Levy’s chances of selling a minority stake in the club, sources have told Football Insider.
It was widely reported last year the Spurs chairman has been in talks to sell a 10 per cent stake that could value the club at up to £3.75billion.
The development of the north London giants’ 62,850-capacity stadium is believed to have boosted their value and attractiveness since it opened in 2019.
That hasn’t, however, helped deliver success on the field after the club have now gone 17 years without winning a trophy.

Football Insider revealed on 22 January Tottenham are set to be more than £30million down on their anticipated prize money for this season.
Sources say their current form and the unrest among the club’s supporters is not helping Levy’s efforts to sell a minority stake at the £3.75billion valuation.
Tottenham chiefs have faced criticism after lack of spending
Tottenham’s disappointing start to this season led to star defender Cristian Romero criticising the club’s lack of spending last month, while a group of fans also held protests against Levy and ENIC.
Football Insider revealed on 16 January ENIC has marginally increased its shareholding from 86.58 per cent to 86.91 per cent following a £35million injection last month.
Levy and members of his family own a 29.88 per cent stake in the British investment company, with Joe Lewis’s family holding the remaining 70.12 per cent.
Amanda Staveley, who previously owned a minority stake in Newcastle United, is believed to have been considering investing in Spurs, but that deal has so far failed to materialise.
Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness told Football Insider the Qatari state has a “real interest” in Tottenham after talks have been ongoing between the two parties for several years.
Deloitte’s 2025 Money League revealed Spurs’ overall revenue fell from £550million in 2022-23 to £528million last season.
The club’s wage bill also dropped from £251million to £222million, meaning just 42 per cent of their revenue is taken up by their salary expenditure.
