Tottenham takeover news - MSP chance, Sheikh Jassim interest, Man Utd impact, Jay-Z bid
Takeover talk continues to swirl at Tottenham Hotspur with the north London club an attractive proposition for investors, especially after a strong start to the season under new manager Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs have been the subject of speculation since the turn of the year, when reports emerged of a meeting between the club's chairman Daniel Levy and the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Al-Khelaifi is the chairman of PSG's owners, Qatar Sports Investments, which has made waves at the Parc de Princes with its 'Galactico' transfer policy having brought in Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in recent years.
MSP Sports Capital, a group chaired by the American-Iranian billionaire Jahm Najafi, has also been linked with a move for Spurs while there has even been talk of the legendary rapper Jay-Z making a bid for the club. It has also been claimed that the Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, who wants to buy Manchester United, could turn his attention to Tottenham if he is unsuccessful in his seemingly never-ending quest to take over at Old Trafford.
And the owners of Formula One, Liberty Media, have been credited with an interest, too. Here's the latest on a potential takeover at Spurs...
