Renowned rap sensation Jay Z has shown keen interest in taking over Tottenham, the esteemed Premier League giants valued at an impressive £2 billion ($2.6bn).
The current owner, Joe Lewis, is facing legal issues related to fraud and insider trading, which could potentially lead to the club’s sale. Jay Z, with a personal fortune of $2.5 billion, might lead a consortium of American investors eyeing the acquisition of an English football team.
His focus has shifted from Arsenal to Tottenham, inspired by his admiration for soccer star Thierry Henry. With some of the top English clubs already under US ownership, Jay Z aims for a controlling interest at board level, given Tottenham’s global appeal. If the price is right, he’s ready to move swiftly into this promising venture.
Already co-owner of the Brooklyn Nets NBA franchise, Jay Z is open to exploring new horizons in sports, as he stated, “If the right opportunity presented itself, then who knows?”
With the potential involvement of fellow investors, he believes the £2.18 billion ($2.8bn) asking price for Tottenham is within reach.
The dynamic duo of Jay Z and his spouse, music icon Beyonce, each with remarkable fortunes, further enhances the intrigue surrounding this intriguing development.
