(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur are not in negotiations with any bidders over a potential takeover of the Premier League club, chairman Daniel Levy has said.
Iranian-American billionaire Jahm Najafi, chair of MSP Sports Capital, was reported to be preparing a $3.75 billion takeover bid for Spurs in February.
"ENIC owns approximately 87% of the club. We have 30,000 shareholders and most of them are fans who own the shares," Levy told the Cambridge Union in a wide-ranging interview released on YouTube on Wednesday. The north London side, who last won silverware in 2008 when they lifted the League Cup, are in fifth spot on 53 points after 31 games, three points behind fourth-placed Newcastle United who have a game in hand and host Spurs on Sunday.
