There has been plenty of takeover speculation surrounding Tottenham in recent weeks following the departure of former executive chairman Daniel Levy.
The Sun reported on Thursday (25 September) a US consortium led by tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick has launched a world record £4.5billion bid to buy Tottenham, with the proposal including £3.3bn to purchase the club and £1.2bn to be set aside for Thomas Frank‘s player budget.

ENIC was one of the first Premier League owners to explore the multi-club ownership model more than two decades ago, but Tottenham are now its sole interest within the sport.
ENIC owns an 86.91 per cent stake in Spurs, while Levy and members of his family hold a 29.88 per cent share in the British investment company, and Joe Lewis’s family trust own the remaining 70.12 per cent.
