The Lewis family have confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale, responding to reports of a potential bid from Amanda Staveley.

The Lewis family trust holds a 70.12% majority share in ENIC, the company that owns 86.58% of Tottenham Hotspur, meaning they control around 60% of the club's shares.

Tottenham parted ways with divisive chairman Daniel Levy, who left the club after 24-years earlier in the week and replaced him with Peter Charrington as the new non-executive chairman.

Several reports had suggested that Staveley, who played a key role in the Saudi PIF’s takeover of Newcastle, was set to make an offer to buy the North London club.

Sky News are now saying that she will release a statement regarding her intent on Monday, and it is said Staveley had been in discussions with prospective backers of a bid for the club in recent weeks.

According to The Telegraph’s Matt Law, the Lewis Family have unequivocally stated “the club is not for sale” ahead of the expected statement.
