“There is a genuine feeling”: A journalist provides an interesting takeover update for Tottenham fans.

Tottenham fans have been eager for takeover news as frustrations towards Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis intensify.

Some Spurs supporters have protested against ENIC’s ownership in recent times, amid concerns over the lack of significant investment in the playing staff as rivals strengthen their sides.

The Athletic has previously stated that Tottenham is the most likely to receive investment from QSI (Qatar Sports Investments) after Levy held talks with Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Now, there has been an update.

WHAT’S THE STORY?

Well, Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports believes “there is a real feeling” that Levy has met with more parties than just QSI.

If that is the case, then it would suggest that the 60-year-old is actively encouraging a takeover, or at least a minority sale, as he entertains discussions over Tottenham with a number of potential investors.

Jacobs adds that Levy is happy to give up 30% of Tottenham, although if QSI does decide to get involved with a Premier League club, they would only want closer to 15%.

You can see what Jacobs wrote in full on Twitter below.

While it isn’t a significant development, it does feel like a positive one for Tottenham fans.

TOTTENHAM RISK FALLING BEHIND WITHOUT A TAKEOVER

In our view, Spurs risk falling out of the Premier League’s top six if Levy does not sell the club, or find some investment from elsewhere.

Newcastle has already gatecrashed the top four and looks set to be there for a while with their Saudi owners happy to spend on signings, while Arsenal is also throwing money around as they sit top of the Premier League.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal has just offered £60 million for Moises Caicedo, while Manchester United is also on the rise.

Fortunately for Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea are currently struggling, but if things do not change at the top level for Tottenham, they risk falling behind.
