Former Tottenham Hotspur executive chairman, Daniel Levy, has reportedly sold a 24.99% stake in the club's parent company, Enic, to sports investment group Eight Sports Capital.
The sale would leave Levy with a mere 4.89% stake in Enic. However, both the company and Tottenham have denied any knowledge of such a transaction taking place.
Levy stepped down from his role as executive chairman in September 2025 after serving for an impressive span of 24 years. His departure was triggered by a restructuring initiated by the club's ultimate owners - the Lewis Family Trust.
About Eight Sports Capital
Eight Sports Capital Ltd is owned by Triller - an American entertainment and technology firm under Wing-Fai Ng and Richard Tsai’s ownership. The chief executive officer of Eight Sports Capital is Brooklyn Earick, an American tech entrepreneur who previously led a consortium expressing interest in buying Tottenham last September – an offer that was firmly rejected by the club at that time.
The price paid for this significant stake remains undisclosed; however, based on BBC Sport's report on September 26th stating that Tottenham was valued just under £4.25bn (the amount Clearlake Capital paid for Chelsea), it can be inferred that this near-25% stake could be worth close to £1bn.
"We are delighted to have signed this agreement to acquire a significant stake in Enic," said a spokesperson for Eight Sports Capital while expressing their eagerness towards supporting Tottenham Hotspur's continued growth and success.
Denial from ENIC
An official statement from Enic confirmed their unawareness about any sale conducted by Daniel Levy’s Family Trust concerning its minority stake in THFC’s parent company: "We can confirm that neither ENIC nor THFC are aware of any sale."
Brooklyn Earick, described as an engineer, founder, and serial technology entrepreneur, has raised over $25bn (£18.65bn) from family offices, sovereign wealth funds and leading institutions worldwide. He is also a lifelong Tottenham fan.
Before his entrepreneurial journey began, Earick worked as an engineer at NASA Ames Research Center where he contributed to small spacecraft and satellite technology. Until his abrupt exit, Levy had been the public face of Tottenham for almost a quarter of a century. He was credited with inspiring Tottenham's state-of-the-art training ground and magnificent 62,850-capacity stadium - the second biggest club ground in England behind Old Trafford.
Despite these achievements though, Levy faced significant criticism from fans due to the club's relative lack of success on the pitch during his tenure – winning just two trophies: the 2008 EFL Cup and last season's Europa League.
