Overview
- Eight Sports Capital published a press release on Friday saying it has signed a sale and purchase agreement to acquire a 24.99% interest in ENIC, the parent company of Tottenham Hotspur.
- The purchase is described as an acquisition of the entire share capital of two trustee-held companies that together beneficially hold 24.99% of ENIC, with Oakchester listed as trustee-owned and linked to Levy family trusts.
- ENIC and Tottenham have issued statements saying they were not informed of any sale by Daniel Levy’s family trust, and Levy has not publicly confirmed the transfer, so independent verification is ongoing.
- The deal would leave Levy with a small residual stake (reported by multiple outlets at roughly 4–5%) while the Lewis family remain majority owners of ENIC, keeping club control unchanged for now.
- Commercial terms have not been disclosed though reporting expects substantial proceeds to Levy, and the 24.99% figure—just below common regulatory thresholds—has renewed speculation about future investment or takeover moves.
