An Asian consortium of investors led by Dr Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited are understood to have indicated on Thursday their intention to make an offer for Spurs, the day Levy left his role as executive chairman after 24 years.

Amanda Staveley and PCP International Finance Ltd have also been linked with the north London club since the 52-year-old's departure from Newcastle United last year and are believed to have shown enough interest, without making an actual intention to bid, to trigger takeover panel rules on disclosure.
