Overview

• Sky reports say Amanda Staveley has recently spoken with prospective backers about a possible approach to Tottenham.
• ENIC controls nearly 87% of the club, placing any change of control under the UK Takeover Code with restricted pathways to a bid.
• Under the code, she could revisit a move only if ENIC invites an offer or a rival publicly announces a firm bid.
• A source close to the Lewis family says the club is not for sale at present.
• Any acceptable offer would likely value Spurs well above £3.5bn, and Rothschild has previously explored capital-raising options for the club.
