Imminent' Tottenham takeover claim made as new era beckons for North London giants
Tottenham Hotspur could be set for a takeover after a Qatari consortium made a 'formal offer' to buy the club from ENIC.
The Qatari investors are said to be fronted by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain. They are reportedly offering £3 billion for Tottenham, which would value the club at around £4 billion.
ENIC, which is owned by Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy, has been in control of Tottenham since 2001. The company has overseen a period of significant growth for the club, both on and off the pitch.
A takeover would mark the start of a new era for Tottenham, who are one of the biggest clubs in England.
The club has a rich history and a passionate fanbase, but they have not won a major trophy since 2008.
A takeover could provide Tottenham with the financial resources to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea. It could also help the club to attract top players and challenge for trophies.
However, there are also some concerns about a potential takeover.
Some fans are worried that the new owners may not be committed to the club's long-term success.
There are also concerns that the takeover could lead to Tottenham becoming a 'sportswashing' project for Qatar. Sportswashing is a term used to describe the use of sport to improve a country's image or reputation.
Ultimately, it is up to ENIC to decide whether or not to sell the club. The company has not yet commented on the takeover offer.
