LEVY OPEN TO SELLING TOTTENHAM

'IF WE FELT THEY COULD TAKE US TO ANOTHER LEVEL WE'D LOOK AT IT' | BUT CHIEF WOULD ONLY CONSIDER AN EXIT IF IN CLUB'S BEST INTERESTS | SAYS THAT KANE'S BAYERN MUNICH DEAL HAS A BUY-BACK CLAUSE IN IT

DANIEL LEVY has admitted for the first time that he is open to selling a stake in Tottenham, effectively putting the club up for sale.

Levy insists he has "no real interest to leave", but has said he will consider new investment if it is "right for the club" and can take Spurs to "another level".

In an interview with Bloomberg, Levy said he has turned down offers in the past from the Far East, the Middle East and America. But the Spurs chairman said he would listen to "serious propositions", raising the possibility of his more than two-decade tenure coming to an end.

Levy said: "I've got no real interest to leave Tottenham, but I have a duty to consider anything that anyone may want to propose. It's not about me, it's about what's right for the club.

"We have 30,000 shareholders who own approximately 13.5 per cent. We run this club as if it is a public company.

If anyone wants to make serious propositions to the board of Tottenham, we will consider it along with our advisors.

And if we felt it was in the interests of the club, we would be open to anything." Levy's admission effectively means Spurs are the latest Premier League club to go on the market, following the £4.14billion sale of Chelsea in 2022 and the Glazers putting Manchester United up for sale. Liverpool's FSG owners are also open to outside investment.
