Alasdair Gold reveals what Spurs have said about MSP Sports Capital investment rumours

Rumours surfaced over the weekend suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur could be the subject of potential investment.

Paul O’Keefe, who has a track record of delivering reliable information on X took to the social media platform to claim Tottenham were reportedly holding talks with investment firm MSP Sports Capital, who could buy a 40 per cent stake in the Premier League side in a Tweet which has now been deleted.

MSP pulled out of an exclusivity deal to buy a 25 per cent stake in Everton for £150million last August with five football clubs around Europe in their current portfolio.

Spanish second division side Alcorcon, Bundesliga team Augsburg, Portuguese club Estoril, Danish outfit Brondby and SK Beveren of Belgium are all clubs in which MSP own a stake.

Tottenham dismiss MSP Sports Capital investment talks

Alasdair Gold has now reported on the speculation by revealing that Tottenham have been quick to squash the rumour that they are in talks with the US-based company.

He wrote in his column for Football.London: “However, football.london understands that those within Spurs have strongly shot down the suggestion that the club is in investment talks with MSP Sports Capital, which suggests that if any exploratory talks did occur then they did not reach an outcome that suited both parties.

If Tottenham want to really be one of the big clubs in Europe then further investment is needed rather than relying on income from summer music and sporting events to help to try to increase the bottom line.

When it comes to transfer fees and wages, Tottenham cannot compete with the likes of Manchester City, United and Chelsea – since the club is run by Daniel Levy as a pure business, it would certainly be likely that they are open to talks if it meant a financial agreement which suited ENIC.
