Latest news: Tottenham set to agree deal …
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed an announcement on new investment at Tottenham could come “very quickly”.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – suggested Spurs chiefs will want the deal over the line in time to impact the remainder of the transfer window, which shuts on 30 August.
The Times reported last week (27 July) that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is in talks to sell a minority stake in a deal that could value the club at up to £3.75 billion.
It is claimed around 10% of the club could be sold to bring in new investment.
Wyness has previously told Football Insider (1 August) that “£300-500million” could be brought in through a new investor, with a significant portion of that set to be given to Ange Postecoglou and his transfer team.
Tottenham investment deal is ‘close’, says Wyness
The former Everton CEO claimed “something is close” after protracted talks with interested parties.
He told Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast: “Spurs have been in the market for investors for a very long time.
“Their banker Rothchild and their people have been speaking to groups for a long time.
“The valuation kept changing, and increasing – but it wouldn’t surprise me if those negotiations have borne fruit for at least one or two groups to move forward and take a minority stake.“It could be done very quickly.
“I would think they would want to get it done sooner rather than later, so the investment can impact this window.
“To see it in the media now suggests it is happening – something is close.
“I hope it happens for the Spurs fans.”
