Tottenham up for sale - at £1 BILLION

Tottenham are being put up for sale by owner Joe Lewis. The Mirror says the 77-year-old businessman has wanted to cash in on his investment for some time and would now now like a staggering £1billion for the north Londoners.

There has so far been no interest as any potential buyers will need to assume the financial burden of the club's new stadium - said to be around £400million.

But it is felt any takers would benefit from the increased revenue generated by the 56,000-seater venue, income from naming rights and TV cash.

Self-made billionaire Lewis controls ENIC International Ltd, which bought a controlling stake in Spurs from Alan Sugar back in 2001 for around £22million.
