Amanda Staveley in talks to buy sizeable stake in Tottenham with backing from Middle East following Newcastle departure

Premier League

Tottenham

<p>Per the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/amanda-staveley-tottenham-newcastle-investment-33775278" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mirror</em></a>, former Newcastle director Staveley is in advanced talks with Spurs to buy a stake in the club. She was key, along with husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi, to PIF's purchase of Newcastle but left the club in July, and is now looking to buy into Tottenham.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Spurs, per the report, are in the market for a new investment, which Staveley is hoping to secure from another source in the Middle East following her work with PIF. She and her husband are likely to buy up shares from Joe Lewis, the head of ENIC and one-time majority shareholder. The Mirror quote a source who claims an initial investment could be made within weeks, as both Staveley and Ghodoussi were guests at their clash with Brentford. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

They last lifted a trophy in 2008, and the hope within the club will be that fresh money can spark an upturn in fortunes.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Spurs play Manchester United on Sunday. It remains to be seen if Staveley will be able to secure her investment in the club before the end of October.</p>
