Lewis family gives Tottenham a £100m boost
Tottenham Hotspur‘s majority owners have injected £100m of new capital into the club, the club has confirmed.
The cash comes from investment group Enic, controlled by the Lewis Family Trust, which holds an 86.58% stake in the club. The remaining 13.42% is held by a group of minority investors.
“This additional capital is part of the Lewis family’s ongoing commitment to the club and its future,” the club said.
Tottenham said the move is intended to “further strengthen the club’s financial position and equip the club’s leadership team with additional resources to continue the focus on driving long-term sporting success.”
A source close to the family described the injection as an initial tranche of funding.
“This is initial additional funding. As the club’s management decides what’s needed to deliver success, more money will be available. The Lewis family is committed to backing the club to be successful.”
Former chairman Daniel Levy still owns 29.88% of Enic, but he has no direct role at Tottenham after stepping down from his position in September. The trust replaced former majority owner Joe Lewis in 2022 when he handed ownership to the family and stepped away from club matters.
Since Levy’s departure there have been three separate expressions of interest about taking control of the club. The most recent approach came from American tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick, who ultimately ruled out a formal takeover bid after Tottenham made clear the club was not for sale.
The injection from the Lewis family will bolster the boardroom as the club plots its next steps on and off the pitch.
