Tottenham have received a £100m cash boost from their owners, the Lewis family trust, aimed at funding transfers and key infrastructural projects.
The investment was channelled through ENIC, the family’s investment vehicle, and according to The Guardian, a source close to the Lewises confirmed their commitment to long-term success across all fronts.
It also sends a strong message to potential buyers – who have shown interest since Daniel Levy’s exit in September – that the club remains under firm ownership and is not for sale.
Among the major infrastructural targets are the expansion of the club’s Enfield training ground and several non-football development projects.
Tottenham reveal infrastructural plan
Tottenham’s next phase of development includes the construction of a hotel and an indoor arena near the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, both aimed at boosting non-matchday revenue.
The training ground expansion will also include a purpose-built hub for the women’s team and a bespoke NFL training complex.
In addition, Spurs plan to take on multiple residential developments in the Tottenham area, underlining their commitment to community growth alongside football success.
On-field success remains the principal driver
Despite the growing off-field ambitions, The Guardian reports that the board recognises on-pitch success as the key to sustaining wider growth.
After winning the Europa League but finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, the club sacked Ange Postecoglou in search of greater consistency.
To that end, Tottenham invested £125m this summer on new signings, including Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons, both expected to raise the squad’s competitive level.
FGG Says
This investment is a strong statement of intent from the Lewis family, reaffirming their belief in Tottenham’s long-term vision both on and off the pitch.
