Tottenham takeover twist as Amanda Staveley statement imminent with talks held over move
Former Newcastle United joint-owner Amanda Staveley is reportedly expected to clarify her interest in bidding for Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs confirmed on Thursday evening that Daniel Levy had stepped down from his role as executive chairman after nearly 25 years. As reported by football.london back in May, a significant summer of change was anticipated and Levy’s departure from the North London club marks the climax of this.
A turbulent summer in N17 has witnessed head coach Ange Postecoglou being dismissed, with Thomas Frank selected as his replacement.

At boardroom level, Vinai Venkatesham has been named as the club’s chief executive officer, while Scott Munn has been placed on gardening leave from his role as chief football officer.
And Sky News report that Staveley is expected on Monday to clarify her intent on making an offer for Spurs. It is said that Staveley had been in discussions with prospective backers of a bid for the club in recent weeks.
Speaking at Bloomberg’s ‘Women, Money & Power’ event in central London last year, she was asked about her feelings for Newcastle and links with Tottenham.

“First of all, I think all we can do is thank the amazing Newcastle community and the founders for all the support that we had and and continue to get,” she said.
“It’s so hard to move on from a club that’s amazing. We could never move on from Newcastle and we never will. But yes, we’re looking at a number of investment operations.
“We can’t say too much at the moment because of you know, rules around it. But we will be able to talk about it, hopefully in the not too distant
As for Spurs, football.london reported on Friday that the club’s owners, the Lewis family, have no plans to sell the club at present. “Generations of the Lewis family support this special football club and they want what the fans want – more wins more often,” a source close to the family said.
“This is why you have seen recent changes, new leadership and a fresh approach. “In Vinai, Thomas and Peter Charrington, they believe they are backing the right team to deliver on this.
“This is a new era.”

Real Madrid ready to offer ‘huge signing-on fee’ to beat Liverpool to marquee signing
Liverpool risk losing out to Real Madrid or Juventus for Marc Guehi’s signature after their failed attempt to sign the England defender, sources have told Football Insider.
Guehi remains a Crystal Palace player after his deadline day move to Anfield collapsed at the eleventh hour, with Oliver Glasner personally intervening to prevent his captain leaving without a replacement.
As I recently revealed on on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Liverpool will look to complete Guehi‘s signing either in January or next summer, but could now face new competition.
Football Insider revealed on 2 September that Liverpool are in “open dialogue” with Guehi ahead of potentially re-igniting their pursuit in the January window, and will hope they’ve already turned his head.
However, my sources have said that Real Madrid and Juventus are fond of Guehi and could launch their own bids to sign him next summer, with both having strong track records when it comes to free agents.
Liverpool are hopeful that the groundwork they’ve already laid for Guehi will see him end up at Anfield, but Madrid’s interest in particular could see them pay Crystal Palace’s £25million price tag and fast-track the transfer.
Liverpool to launch new Guehi bid amid Real Madrid interest
Football Insider revealed on Saturday that Liverpool wanted to “save a lot of money” on Guehi by waiting until next summer to sign him, but Real Madrid entering the race could lead to a change in their stance.
“We know how good the likes of Real Madrid and Juventus are at landing free agents”, I said on the new Inside Track podcast.
“They do specialise in that, to try and sign players on free transfers, usually with the offer of a huge signing-on fee as well.
