Alan Sugar reveals Tottenham takeover theory as Joe Lewis 'has a buyer in mind'

There has been a lot of talk over a potential takeover at Tottenham Hotspur, following the exit of Daniel Levy

Former Tottenham owner Alan Sugar has shared a theory that Joe Lewis could be set to sell the club. Lewis transferred the ownership of Spurs to the Lewis Family trust in 2022.

The Lewis family assumed full ownership of the club last year, following the ext of Daniel Levy, Tottenham's leadership now comprises Joe's daughter Vivienne, son Charles and Vivienne's husband Nick Beucher.

Tottenham’s current position of 15th place in the Premier League table, not only puts pressure on manager Thomas Frank, but also on the club’s ownership as fans shown their dissatisfaction.

Tottenham were active in the January transfer window, spending a total of £48 million on the arrivals of Conor Gallagher and full-back Souza. But Lord Sugar has questioned why more money wasn’t spent, considering the wealth of the Lewis family and the position the club find themselves in.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote: “Really can't understand why Joe Lewis, the billionaire, is not throwing money into Tottenham. We hardly dealt in the January window.

“Maybe he has a buyer in mind for the club. @SpursOfficial.”

Reports claim that Levy is exploring a sale of his stake of the club to a consortium involving Hong Kong Businessman Ng Wing-fai.

Football.london understands that the Lewis family currently has no plans to sell the club. While they have no control over Levy’s shares, they would still retain full authority over the club if his shares were ever sold.

The Lewis family have rejected three approaches for the club back in September. One from an Asian consortium involving Wing-Fai, a second frmo Amada Staveley’s PCP International Finance Ltd and a third from former DJ Brooklyn Earick.

A plan has been put into place to ‘deliver sustained on-pitch success’, with appointments confirmed over the latter months of last year. Fabio Paratici returned as new co-sporting director.

In April last year, Vinai Venkatesham was named as the club’s new chief executive officer . Back in October, Dan Lewindon joined the club as the new performance director.
