Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly being considered as a potential target for a takeover by MSP Sports Capital.
MSP is headed up by Iranian-American businessman Jahm Najafi, who is a minority owner of the Phoenix Suns NBA side and also has a financial interest in the McLaren F1 team. The Financial Times report that MSP are looking to buy 70 per cent of Spurs with Abu Dhabi-based Investors providing the rest of the cash to buy the club from current owners Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy.
News of a potential takeover of Spurs comes amid potential sales of Liverpool and Manchester United, who are both on the market, and after the £4.25 billion buy-out of Chelsea by Todd Boehly and the Clearlake Capital consortium. Chairman Daniel Levy has overseen Tottenham's recent move into their brand new stadium and the club returned to the Champions League under Antonio Conte last season.
