‘More on that’ - The Athletic reporter drops ‘£2.3 billion’ Tottenham claim on Twitter

Taking to Twitter, journalist Jack Pitt-Brooke of The Athletic has dropped a Tottenham Hotspur revelation as he makes a ‘£2.3 billion’ claim.

Tottenham fans and the club’s board have endured a turbulent relationship with protests having been held over the Lilywhites’ ownership in recent times.

This has lead to rumours of potential buyers and questions surrounding whether chairman Daniel Levy or the ENIC Group would even consider selling the club (The Athletic).

Levy has played host to potential investors over this past year, including Singaporean entrepreneur Forrest Li back in December, who was an esteemed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium guest.

While a potential takeover doesn’t appear close for the time being, Pitt-Brooke has now claimed one American tycoon in Todd Boehly came pretty close in 2019.

Pitt-Brooke, making an interesting claim on Twitter, says Chelsea’s prospective buyer was actually nearing a purchase of Spurs for around ‘£2.3 billion’ at the time.

“Todd Boehly got close to buying Tottenham for roughly £2.3bn in 2019,” he explained.

The Athletic reporter also goes on to reveal ‘more on that’ offer in a recent article.

As Boehly joins the list of parties interested in buying Chelsea, with Roman Abramovich having put the club up for sale, his background comes as a mixed bag.

Owning 20 per cent of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Eldridge Industries’ CEO has come under scrutiny for some of his dealings, with his business model even likened to The Glazers of Man United.

Though his personal net worth stands at around £4 billion, it is heavily debatable whether he would’ve backed Tottenham enough financially on the field.
