There have been a lot of claims made around Tottenham Hotspur’s potential takeover as Amanda Staveley looks to purchase commendable shares in the North London-based club, and it has got the supporters at White Hart Lane beaming in excitement looking at everything that she had done at Newcastle United before her eventual exit.
She will not only bring reputable investment money but also expertise that saw the Toons go from a struggling side to one of the most exciting teams outside the Big Six.
And John Wenham, owner of reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, insists that her purchase of 12.5 percent stake in the club is “imminent,” and he thinks that the initial investment opens doors at White Hart Lane for a potential full takeover around the corner.
There were reports that Amanda Staveley is in advanced talks to invest in the Premier League heavyweights (h/t The Mirror), and those reports were topped by more rumours after she was spotted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Sunday in the NFL fixture between the Chicago Bears and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Staveley close to Tottenham investment
And Wenham, in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, suggests that the transaction is close to being finalised. He said:

“There is certainly something going on there.
“I’m sure that Staveley’s expertise and network of contacts would prove very valuable to Tottenham.
“Even if she only buys a 12.5 per cent stake now, which is the rumour, that leaves the door open to potentially purchasing more in the future, once her team is settled at the club. However, yes, it does look like something is fairly imminent.”
There were reports of Amanda Staveley looking to bring Newcastle boss Eddie Howe to White Hart Lane in case Ange Postecoglou were to be dismissed; however, we will see what happens on that front once she comes through the doors.
Moreover, it is yet to be finalised what role she will play behind the scenes, but we should know more once the ‘imminent’ deal is announced.
