Joe Lewis, the billionaire who once controlled Tottenham Hotspur, is expected to receive an official pardon from United States President Donald Trump, bringing an extraordinary close to the legal saga that saw him plead guilty to insider trading.

The 88-year-old, who transferred his ownership of Spurs to the Lewis Family Trust in 2022, was fined £4million earlier this year but avoided prison after a judge accepted appeals for leniency based on his age, health and early admission of guilt.
