Lewis Family Pumps £120m More into Tottenham
The cash is meant to meet short-term working-capital needs after heavy transfer spending by buying new ENIC shares to increase Lewis family control.
Overview
- The Lewis family injected £120 million into Tottenham on Wednesday, bringing their investment in the club to about £320 million over the past 12 months.
- Bloomberg and the Press Association report the funds will be used for working capital and will involve the family buying new shares in ENIC Sports Inc.
- The new share purchase could further dilute Daniel Levy’s holding if he does not participate, with his stake already reduced from about 29.88% to roughly 27% after the summer round.
- The move follows a summer spending spree of more than £300 million on transfers, including high-fee signings such as Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, which increased short-term cash needs.
- Tottenham continue to struggle on the pitch after back-to-back low league finishes and a recent Carabao Cup exit, and the injection aims to stabilise operations though it does not guarantee improved results.
