Alasdair Gold has revealed that ‘a very wealthy’ person was recently shown around the Hotspur Way training ground amidst reports of Tottenham being up for sale.
The Athletic reported last month that Tottenham are now more for sale now than they have ever been, with potential investors having to pay £3 billion to buy Tottenham: £2.3 billion for the shares, plus £700 million of debt.
The report stated that several investors had shown interest in buying the North London club, including Singaporean businessman Forest Li and American businessman Todd Boehly.
The Daily Record subsequently revealed that an American-based special purpose acquisition company LAMF Global Ventures had even made an offer to buy the club.
However, it was explained that the bid was rebuffed by Daniel Levy since the takeover would have entailed the club relisting on a stock exchange for the first time since 2012.
Gold has now revealed that a wealthy individual was recently given a tour of the facilities at the club, with the journalist suggesting it could have been to do with potential investment into the club or a party interested in the stadium’s naming rights.
Gold said on his YouTube channel: “There’s always little bits and pieces and rumours of potential investment at Tottenham.
“I know that one chap was shown around the training ground not too long ago who was a very wealthy person.
“I’m keeping an eye on exactly what that is. It could have been a naming rights partner that didn’t come to pass or a potential investor.”

The club’s ownership is not popular with parts of the fan base and so some fans would be desperate for the club to be sold as soon as possible.
However, the reality is that a deal like this one is going to take time and Levy will not be in a hurry to push through a sale as he would want to find the right party.
Levy clearly cares about his legacy at Spurs and he would probably want to stay on as the chairman for a while even if a sale goes through to ensure a smooth transition.
