It’s moving at the Spurs! Apart from the coaching change and some interesting arrivals, Tottenham are having a more eventful summer than ever. Often calm during the off-seasons, the Londoners have to manage many issues internally, in particular that of the overall management of the club. Charged with insider trading, Spurs owner Joe Lewis is in trouble. If the latter pleads not guilty, the wealthy 86-year-old businessman may well have to sell the club to other investors. A bit like Roman Abramovich did with Chelsea last year.
As a result, the famous rapper Jay-Z would be ready to jump at the chance to get his hands on Tottenham. Wishing to invest in a London club for several years, the one who owns shares in the Brooklyn Nets NBA franchise hopes to do the same with the Spurs, accompanied by other investors according to Sunday Express. Money is not a problem for Jay-Z, who was interested in Arsenal before. An associate of the artist says:It remains to be seen whether Mr Lewis will walk free. If he doesn’t, Jay said he wants to be able to act quickly if he feels the price is right.“Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool, there are many English clubs managed by wealthy American investors. Enough to give ideas to Jay-Z, who could therefore take over the Spurs in the near future. Also worth noting is that Tottenham’s value has risen again this season, to £2.18 billion. A sum within reach of the rapper.
