New York Yankees vice-president Hank Steinbrenner admits they regret not buying into Tottenham when given the opportunity - and insists the Steinbrenners could still make a move into the Premiership owner's market.

Steinbrenner said in the 1980s his family was approached about purchasing one-third of Tottenham.

"We should have done it. It was at a time before the big money hit European soccer,'' Steinbrenner said, adding that the EPL still intrigues him. "I haven't ruled out doing that.''
