Tottenham have confirmed a £100m injection from owners ENIC amid takeover talks

Tottenham’s owner ENIC has invested £100m in new funds aimed at supporting “long-term sporting success” in north London.

This new injection comes just weeks after the surprise exit of long-serving CEO Daniel Levy, who resigned last month after nearly a quarter-century in the role.

His departure sparked speculation that the Lewis family – Tottenham’s majority shareholders – were considering selling the club.

However, those close to the family have since denied such rumours, insisting they have no intention of selling and will remain focused on building a stronger future on and off the pitch.

In recent months, three separate investment groups have expressed interest in taking over the club, but all offers were quickly rejected Each party confirms that it will not submit formal bids.

The new £100m capital increase represents the clearest indication yet that the Lewis family plans to remain at the helm of Tottenham moving forward.

We are pleased to announce that our majority shareholder, the Lewis Family Trust, has, through ENIC Sports & Development Holdings Ltd (“ENIC”), injected £100 million of new capital into the club.

In a statement confirming the news, the club said: “This equity injection will strengthen the club’s financial position and provide the club’s leadership team with additional resources to remain focused on achieving long-term sporting success.”

“This additional capital is part of the Lewis family’s ongoing commitment to the club and its future.”

A new chapter under new leadership

The Lewis family’s influence has become increasingly apparent in recent weeks. Joe Louis’ children, Vivian and Charles, took on more prominent roles within the club structure, along with Nick Boucher, Vivian’s brother-in-law.

It was the family that made the crucial decision to part ways with Levy, paving the way for Vinay Venkatesham – a former Arsenal player – to take charge of day-to-day operations as Tottenham’s new chief executive.

Meanwhile, Peter Charrington has been appointed Non-Executive Chairman, bringing a renewed focus on governance and long-term planning. Charrington praised the ownership group for its offer of financial support.

“As I mentioned a few weeks ago, our focus is on stability and empowering the management team to deliver on the club’s ambitions,” Charrington said.

“I know the Lewis family is also ambitious for the future. Today’s capital commitment reflects this ambition and I would like to thank them for their continued support.

“We will continue to do everything we can to ensure that Vinay and his team are supported in the best way possible to move this club forward,” he added.

A source close to the Lewis family confirmed that the £100m injection is not a one-off measure, but part of a wider flexible commitment to help the club achieve success.
