However, 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 Spurs.
However, Tottenham have now released a new statement responding to the approach, insisting they have once again “unequivocally rejected” an informal expression of interest from a consortium led by Earick.
“The board of the club and ENIC reconfirm that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and ENIC is not looking to sell its stake in the club,” the statement read.
