Tottenham insist they have received no approach from billionaire Jahm Najafi following a report claiming the Iranian-American is set to bid $3.75billion (£3.1bn) for the club.
According to yesterday's Financial Times, Najafi, who is the chair of private equity firm MSP Sports Capital, which has also held talks over investing in Everton, is poised to test the resolve of Spurs's majority shareholder Joe Lewis and chairman Daniel Levy with a bid in the coming weeks.
