The announcement by the Tottenham board is viewed by individuals close to the matter as largely a formality.
Market regulations require formal statements following speculation of such potential buyouts.
It has been claimed to BBC Sport that Brooklyn Earick was approached to issue the statement to the London Stock Exchange following a report in a national newspaper that claimed he was spearheading a takeover bid.
However, it was eventually left to Tottenham and Enic to publicly address the speculation, despite the fact Earick has been posting on social media about the reported takeover bid on Friday morning.
The seriousness of Earick's advances will become much clearer in the coming weeks. But what is clear is Spurs is viewed as a club that is purchasable.
Of course, the key catalyst of the recent flurry of interest from parties interested in taking over at Tottenham is the departure of long-serving executive chairman Daniel Levy.
Levy's exit has been taken by some as a clear sign that the Lewis family, who ultimately own the club, are preparing to sell.
However, the soundings - publicly and privately - are in complete contrast to the belief from some industry figures that the club is on the market.
The Lewis family are maintaining that Tottenham is simply not for sale. But that isn't preventing groups from testing the water.
Indeed, in addition to Earick's interest, a consortium involving Amanda Staveley has been among a number of parties not to have been dissuaded from pursuing a Spurs buyout despite the Lewis' family's stance.
If Earick is serious, then we may be about to find out how staunch the Lewis family are about leading Tottenham into the post-Levy era.
