“SHOCKER: NFL Billionaire with £90BN Fortune Set to STUN Football World with EPIC Tottenham Takeover!”

A United States consortium headed by tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick made a move last month to purchase Tottenham Hotspur, sparking renewed speculation about a potential American takeover of the Premier League club.

Tottenham, however, quickly issued an official statement confirming that they had “unequivocally rejected” the informal expression of interest from Earick, who later stated that he would not be submitting a formal bid for the north London side.

Despite that rejection, Football Insider reported on 26 September that Tottenham’s ownership group could still be open to investment discussions, particularly with a prospective NFL franchise owner interested in taking a stake in the club.

The report highlighted that Spurs’ long-standing partnership with the NFL remains a key attraction for potential investors.

Under this agreement, at least two NFL games are hosted annually at the 62,850-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which was purpose-built to accommodate both football and American football events.

The first NFL fixture at the stadium took place in October 2019, shortly after the venue opened, when the Chicago Bears faced the Oakland Raiders.

Since then, the state-of-the-art arena has become a central hub for the NFL’s presence in Europe.

There has also been speculation about the possibility of Tottenham hosting a future Super Bowl, an idea that could gain serious traction if a US-based investor or consortium were to secure a controlling interest in the club.

In an exclusive discussion with Football Insider, Reach PLC’s NFL correspondent Charlie Wilson suggested that an NFL owner investing in Tottenham would not be unexpected. “Maybe they could be interested,” Wilson commented.

“We’ve seen the York family, who own the San Francisco 49ers, take over Leeds United, while Fenway Sports Group, owners of the Boston Red Sox, also own Liverpool.

American involvement in the Premier League has become increasingly common over the past two decades.”

Wilson added that this trend reflects the growing popularity of English football in the United States, citing examples such as Tom Brady’s stake in Birmingham City, J.J. Watt’s investment in Burnley, and the Glazer family’s dual ownership of Manchester United and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“The Premier League has grown massively in the US, and American investors see it as a lucrative market,” he explained.

Tottenham’s owners, ENIC Group, reportedly value the club at around £4.5 billion, amid ongoing speculation about a potential sale or investment deal.

ENIC currently holds an 86.91% stake in Spurs, with Daniel Levy and his family controlling 29.88% of ENIC, while the family trust of Joe Lewis owns the remaining 70.12%.

Wilson further suggested that wealthy American investors—particularly those who miss out on buying US sports franchises—could shift their focus toward Premier League clubs like Tottenham.

“If they fail in their bids for teams like the Milwaukee Bucks or other NBA or NFL sides, they might look at Tottenham instead,” he said.

“There’s huge money involved—billionaires with hundreds of billions in assets, such as the owners of the Denver Broncos, who also own Walmart.

These are people who could easily afford a club like Tottenham.”

The Denver Broncos were purchased in 2022 for £3.7 billion by Rob Walton and his family, heirs to the Walmart fortune, whose collective net worth is estimated at £94 billion by Forbes.

Given Tottenham’s strong NFL connections and state-of-the-art facilities, Wilson argued that an American billionaire with sporting interests could see significant commercial potential in a Spurs investment.

Tottenham’s growing relationship with the NFL continues to deepen. The most recent game at the club’s stadium saw the Denver Broncos defeat the New York Jets 13-11 on 12 October, further reinforcing Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s position as the UK home of the NFL and an increasingly attractive destination for American investors eyeing opportunities in English football.
