New reports have emerged amid Tottenham Hotspur’s search for investment in the club, with talks over interested parties continuing.

Back in April last year, chairman Daniel Levy confirmed that the club were in discussions with potential investors. In a statement accompanying Spurs’ annual financial results he said: ”To capitalise on our long-term potential, to continue to invest in the teams and undertake future capital projects, the club requires a significant increase in its equity base.

“The board and its advisors, Rothschild & Co, are in discussions with prospective investors. Any recommended investment proposal would require the support of the club’s shareholders.”

Since then, there has been a lot of speculation of where that investment could come from. It comes amid the team’s poor form on the pitch and fan unrest off it.

Here is the latest on a potential investment or takeover of the club...

Qatari interest

The Guardian report that a group of Qatari investors are seeking to buy the club in a deal that could take the form of a ‘phased buyout’.

It is added that the identity of the investors is unknown, but they are not government-backed Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) or Sheikh Jassim, the latter of whom made an attempt to buy Manchester United before the takeover by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. They are instead private individuals.

Daniel Levy update

The same report from The Guardian claims that any takeover by Qatari investors could see chairman Daniel Levy stay at the club, with the investors willing to offer him a long-term contract to continue running the club as executive chairman.

That decision may not go down too well with some Spurs fans, who have made their feelings clear by chanting that they want ‘Levy out’ at recent games.

It is said that the investor are keen to retain Levy’s ‘expertise’ should a takeover happen.

Amanda Staveley links

Former Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Stavely and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi continue to be linked with Spurs, having attended Tottenham matches and NFL games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

She has previously said that she would be open to investing in another Premier League club after leaving Newcastle. Speaking at Bloomberg’s Women, Money & Power event back in December, she said: "It's so hard to move on from a club that's amazing.

"We could never move on from Newcastle, and we never will. But yes, we're looking at a number of investment operations.

"We can't say too much at the moment because of rules around it. But we will be able to talk about it, hopefully in the not too distant future."

That came after reports back in August that the two were in advanced talks over acquiring a sizable stake in Spurs, with them attending matches against Brentford and Arsenal as club guests.
