Tottenham boost as Lewis family pump £100m into Spurs with promise for the future

The Lewis family have pumped £100million into Tottenham Hotspur with the promise of more support for the Premier League club in the future.

Spurs and the family, through the controlling company ENIC, have rejected three approaches from potential takeover candidates in the past month. Now the Lewis family trust, through ENIC Sports & Development Holdings Ltd, have injected £100million of new capital into the club.

Tottenham said in a statement: "This equity injection will further strengthen the club’s financial position and equip the club’s leadership team with additional resources to continue the focus on driving long-term sporting success. This additional capital is part of the Lewis family’s ongoing commitment to the club and its future."

Spurs' new non-executive chairman, Peter Charrington, added a promise for more backing in the future: "As I stated a few weeks ago, our focus is on stability and empowering the management team to deliver on the club’s ambitions. I know the Lewis family are also ambitious for the future.

"Today’s capital commitment reflects that ambition and I would like to thank them for their ongoing support. We will continue to do all we can to ensure that Vinai [Venkatesham] and his team are supported in the best way possible to take this club forward."

A course close to the Lewis family told football.london: "This is initial additional funding. As the club’s management decides what’s needed to deliver success, more money will be available. The Lewis family is committed to backing the club to be successful."
