Despite turning down multiple takeover bids, ENIC are reportedly open to selling Tottenham, but only to a specific type of investor.

Tottenham have already rejected two takeover offers in the weeks following Daniel Levy’s departure from the club.

Last week, it emerged that a US consortium, headed by Brooklyn Earick, was ready to spend £4.5 billion on Spurs.

However, Spurs unequivocally rejected an informal expression of interest from a consortium led by Earick and have maintained that the club is not for sale.

The Lewis family are willing to sell Tottenham to an NFL franchise owner

Football Insider have now claimed that Tottenham Hotspur’s majority shareholders would be more open to doing a deal with an NFL franchise owner.

ENIC are more willing to consider a deal which would make Tottenham a bigger combination of sporting assets rather than an outright sale.

The Lilywhites have a contract with the NFL that sees the club’s stadium play host to two NFL matches every year. The report says that this existing tie-up with the NFL is an important element for potential investors, who have shown an interest in buying the club.

Experts expect Tottenham to be sold in the near future

Even though ENIC have rejected takeover interest from various consortia, many football finance experts are convinced that Tottenham will be the next ‘big six’ club to be sold.

Many feel that Levy’s exit may be a catalyst for a sale, but it is clear that the North London club will not come cheap.

Tottenham take a trip to the Arctic Circle to face familiar opponents Bodo/Glimt in the second week of the Champions League on Tuesday.

‘You don’t face opponents like these in the Champions League was a phrase Spurs fans heard plenty last season after lifting the Europa League title. That run included a semi-final tie with Bodo/Glimt, a club many assumed would never reach the continent’s top stage. Yet here they are, making their Champions League debut after brushing aside Sturm Graz 6-1 on aggregate in the qualifiers.

The Norwegian champions sit second in the Eliteserien at present, just one point off top spot with a game in hand. They showed plenty of grit in their group stage opener, coming back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Slavia Prague, and followed that up with a league draw before a 3-1 domestic win.

As for Tottenham, Thomas Frank’s side were rescued from a flat performance against Wolves when Joao Palhinha struck in stoppage time to seal a 1-1 draw. The Premier League side did, however, get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start, courtesy of an early own goal in the 1-0 victory over Villarreal.

What time does Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur kick off?

Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur: Head-to-head record

These two clubs know each other from recent memory. Spurs met Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semi-finals last season, coming through both legs comfortably.

The first leg finished 3-1 in north London, and Spurs then went away to Norway and won 2-0, a result made all the sweeter after one of Bodo’s players had suggested their defence would be easy to bypass.

Tottenham team news

Thomas Frank would have been hoping to have strikers Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani available again, but neither were spotted in open training on Monday. Solanke has now had to undergo a minor surgery to fix his stubborn injury.

There was better news elsewhere, as Yves Bissouma, Kota Takai and Ben Davies returned to training. Only Davies is eligible for this match, however, with Bissouma and Takai not included in the Champions League squad, alongside Mathys Tel.

They join the longer-term absentees Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Radu Dragusin on the sidelines, while Cristian Romero has not travelled to Norway as a precaution.

Bodo/Glimt team news

The Norwegian side are without Ola Brynhildsen, Ole Blomberg and Ulrik Saltness, all of whom are long-term absentees. Two fresh concerns emerged in their last outing, with Brede Moe and Daniel Bassi both picking up injuries and now doubtful for the Spurs clash.

Predicted Tottenham line-up

Vicario, Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence, Sarr, Simons, Bentancur, Kudus, Richarlison, Johnson

Guglielmo Vicario was partly at fault for the goal conceded against Wolves, while Antonin Kinsky impressed in the midweek win over Doncaster, so there is a chance Frank could make a change between the sticks.

Joao Palhinha has played back-to-back 90 minutes and, despite scoring in both games, may be rested, with Pape Sarr likely to come into midfield. Expect Xavi Simons to start in the number 10 role.

Up front, Frank has no choice but to go with Richarlison, whose form has dipped. Wilson Odobert could also come into the side on the left in place of Brennan Johnson.

Our prediction

Tottenham have not won their opening two Champions League fixtures since the 2017-18 campaign. This looks like the perfect chance to put that run to bed.

Richarlison and Xavi Simons both struggled against Wolves, but this trip to Bodo could be the ideal stage for Simons to finally open his Spurs account.

On the artificial pitch, Tottenham’s technical quality should still tell, and Frank’s men have shown a knack for bouncing back strongly after poor displays.

Tottenham make the trip to Norway on Tuesday night to face Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, with Thomas Frank’s men looking to make it three wins from three against the Norwegian outfit. Let’s take a look at our predicted Tottenham XI to face Bodo/Glimt.

Attention now turns to continental affairs for Tottenham Hotspur as they gear up to take on Norwegian side Bodo Glimt.

The two sides will clash for the third time this year on Tuesday in the Champions League, after Tottenham comfortably dispatched them last season in the Europa League, with Ange Postecoglou as Spurs boss.

It finished 5-1 on aggregate, with the Lilywhites beating Glimt both home and away, even keeping a clean sheet on the Norwegian side’s artificial turf.

Let us now look at how Thomas Frank could line his side up on Tuesday against Bodo Glimt in Norway

Tottenham predicted XI vs Bodo/Glimt in Champions League

Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario: Despite his poor handling for Wolves’ opener last weekend, we do expect Frank to stick with the Italian on Tuesday.

Right-back – Pedro Porro: The Spaniard was handed a rare rest in the league, but he could very well return to the starting XI. Porro could even be handed the captain’s armband in Norway.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Centre-back – Kevin Danso – Frank is forced into a change at the heart of his Tottenham defence as Cristian Romero was left at home as a precaution.

Centre-back – Micky van de Ven: It may have been touch and go with the Dutchman, who could be rested given his injury record, as Spurs are set to play on an artificial surface. However, with Romero unavailable, Van de Ven simply must play.

Left-back – Djed Spence: The England full-back could return to the right after featuring on the left last time out. Hopefully, another winger is added to the Djed Spence penitentiary.

Pivot midfielder – Rodrigo Bentancur: Taken off a little earlier when Tottenham were chasing an equaliser against Wolves, he is more rested than Palhinha, who could be dropped for this tie.

Centre midfielder – Lucas Bergvall: We do not expect to see a double pivot in this tie, as Frank may opt for two eights, and given Bergvall’s form, he could start once more.

Centre midfielder – Pape Matar Sarr: The young midfielder featured from the bench against Wolves and assisted Palhinha’s wonder strike. With Frank not using Simons as a ten, he could turn to Sarr to fill that role.

Left midfielder – Xavi Simons: Simons endured his worst game in a Tottenham shirt against Wolves on the left, leading to calls for him to start in the middle. It remains to be seen if Frank opts for that switch.

Striker – Richarlison: With no Tel in the squad, Solanke still out, and Muani sidelined, Richarlison will continue as the number nine in Europe.

Tottenham travel to Norway for a tricky Champions League clash against Bodo/Glimt, with Thomas Frank’s men looking to extend their perfect start in Europe while putting recent domestic frustrations behind them. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Bodo/Glimt.

After back-to-back draws in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur’s focus now switches to European football and the demands of the UEFA Champions League under the lights.

They opened their campaign with a narrow but important 1-0 win over Villarreal, which keeps them sitting with a perfect record despite having played just once in the league phase.

This midweek encounter, however, will feel familiar, as Tottenham are once again lining up against Bodo/Glimt, the Norwegian side they dispatched with relative ease in last season’s Europa League semi-final, and Spurs fans would be expecting more of the same this week.

When and where is the game?

Tottenham face Bodo/Glimt at the Aspmyra Stadion on Tuesday, 29 September 2025, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK time).

Tottenham also have their own injury worries to contend with, as Dominic Solanke and Kolo Muani are missing for the trip, while Yves Bissouma, Kota Takai, and Ben Davies have only just returned to training.

James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin remain ruled out as they continue their recovery. Captain Cristian Romero was left at home as a precaution.

Spurs Web prediction for Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham

It is never straightforward to travel away in Europe, especially when form has dipped, and Spurs arrive without a win in their last two league matches.

The trip to Norway adds another layer of difficulty, given the artificial turf, but last season Tottenham proved their superiority over Bodo/Glimt across two legs, and they will expect to do the same again here.

We anticipate a reaction from Frank’s side following the frustrating draw with Wolves at the weekend, although the game is unlikely to be plain sailing.

As Tottenham Hotspur plot to reignite their interest in Morgan Rogers, a new report has shed light on what Aston Villa plan on doing with their star man.

It was widely reported in the summer that Tottenham wanted to test Villa’s resolve to hold onto Rogers.

In fact, it was even suggested that Spurs were ready to break the bank for the Villa star, but Unai Emery’s men refused to come to the negotiating table for the England international.

Predictably, reports have already surfaced that Tottenham could try again to land Rogers in January, with the Lilywhites wanting to signal their ambition in the post-Daniel Levy era.

Aston Villa are taking action to prevent Morgan Rogers’ departure amid Tottenham interest

Football Insider have now claimed that the Villans have now opened talks with Rogers over a new long-term deal in an effort to ward off his suitors.

The report says that the 23-year-old was on the radar of both Spurs and Chelsea in the summer, but the Midlands club rebuffed the London duo’s attempts to sign the player.

The former Middlesbrough man only signed a new deal at Villa Park last November, with his current deal running until 2030.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, despite this, Villa are ready to offer him a pay rise and are looking to tie him down to a new contract. The report adds that Emery’s men have no intention of letting the attacking midfielder leave in January.

Tottenham may have to wait until the summer for Rogers

A couple of weeks ago, journalist Pete O’Rourke confirmed that Tottenham remain one of Rogers’ biggest admirers, and backed the Lilywhites to try again for the England man

However, he made it clear that Villa will not consider selling their star man in January and that Spurs may have to wait until next summer to have a chance of landing the 23-year-old.

Villa have made a poor start to the season, and should they miss out on European qualification, Rogers may be tempted to push for an exit next summer.

Journalist George Sessions noticed that Tottenham Hotspur did something unusual in training on Monday to prepare themselves for their upcoming Champions League tie against Bodo/Glimt.

Tottenham will be hoping to make it two wins from two in the Champions League when they head to Norway to take on Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday.

The Lilywhites have pleasant memories of the Aspmyra Stadion, winning 2-0 at the ground back in May on their way to Europa League glory.

With Tottenham facing a tricky end to the league phase of the Champions League, Frank will be desperate for his side to get three points in Norway, and it turns out that he is leaving no stone unturned to prepare his players for the conditions they will face north of the Arctic Circle.

What Guglielmo Vicario and Antonin Kinsky did during Tottenham training on Monday

Bodo/Glimt have an outstanding home record in European competitions of late, and that is partly down to the fact that they play on an artificial pitch.

Opposition sides have usually found it difficult to cope with the conditions at the Aspmyra Stadion, but the conditions will not come as a shock to the Spurs players, who played there less than five months ago.

However, it appears Frank is taking no chances as journalist George Sessions reveals that Tottenham’s goalkeepers trained on an artificial pitch at Hotspur Way on Monday in the lead up to the tie.

Supercomputer predicts Tottenham’s chances of beating Bodo/Glimt

According to Opta’s Supercomputer, Tottenham have a 43.6 per cent chance of beating Bodo/Glimt, while the home side have been given a 32.3 per cent chance of getting all three points.

Opta’s algorithm predicts that Spurs will finish in ninth place in the league phase, which would mean that they just miss out on direct qualification to the round of 16 and would have to play an additional knockout round.

However, should Tottenham have six points on the board from their first two matches, Frank will believe that his side has a great chance of finishing in the top eight, with Monaco and Copenhagen their next two opponents.

Tottenham Hotspur have been left with a fresh injury concern after a senior player was left behind in North London ahead of the club’s Champions League tie with Bodo/Glimt in Norway.

Thomas Frank will be looking for a swift response from his Tottenham Hotspur team when they face Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday night.

While Spurs have not suffered defeat in their last four outings, back-to-back draws in the Premier League feel like a missed opportunity, particularly with points dropped against bottom-of-the-table Wolves.

However, as is always the case in football, there is the chance to put things right quickly, and Tottenham will not have to wait long, with Bodo/Glimt their next opponents in the Champions League.

Cristian Romero ruled out of Tottenham squad to face Bodo/Glimt

Thomas Frank has been speaking to the media ahead of Spurs’ clash against Glimt in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League.

The Spurs boss has since provided an injury update on his Tottenham squad, confirming that Dominic Solanke is set to miss out once again following minor surgery, while Kolo Randal Muani is progressing well after picking up a dead leg.

Frank also revealed that Cristian Romero took no part in first-team training for precautionary reasons, raising concern over his availability ahead of the European tie.

Those fears have now been confirmed, with Alasdair Gold reporting that the Tottenham captain has not travelled with the rest of the squad for their matchday two Champions League tie.

Frank said when asked for further information on Romero’s absence: “Romero was just a precaution.”

Spurs eye response as they return to Norway

Spurs made the trip to the Arctic Circle on Monday afternoon as they prepare to take on Bodo/Glimt for the third time this year.

Last time out, Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory in the Europa League at the Aspmyra Stadion, with Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke on target for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Thomas Frank has delivered a worrying injury update as Tottenham prepare for a crucial Champions League clash away at Bodo/Glimt.

Thomas Frank is set to manage in only his second ever game in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night, and this time he takes his side on a demanding trip away from home.

Tottenham Hotspur make the long journey to the Arctic Circle to face Bodo/Glimt in matchday two of the League phase, and Frank will be hoping his side can build momentum by making it two wins from two in Europe, following their opening victory against Villarreal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The two clubs have met twice in recent years, with Tottenham boasting a perfect record, having come out on top in both of their previous encounters with Glimt.

Frank’s men were held to a draw in their last Premier League outing, and the manager will be eager to see a stronger response from his squad as they turn their focus back to European competition.

Speaking to Tottenham’s official channel, Frank has now provided an update on his Tottenham squad, with some key names now stepping up their recovery work.

Footage from today’s training session revealed that Yves Bissouma, Kota Takai and Ben Davies have returned to the grass; however, forwards Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani, who have both been carrying injuries, remain out.

Frank still has long-term absentees, with Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison all sidelined.

Cristian Romero also missed training on Monday, but Frank ensured it was a precaution more than anything.

Speaking on the fitness of his squad ahead of the Bodo/Glimt tie, Frank told the Tottenham media team: “Start with Dom, he got that ankle issue that’s been bothering him.

“We’ve decided to make a minor surgery, a small procedure, he misses today. We’ll know more after the international break.

“Randal Kolo Muani we’re on top of his dead leg so that’s good and Cuti [missing open training] was just a precaution.”

Tottenham academy starlet Mikey Moore has not been happy with the role he has been handed at Rangers so far, with the Lilywhites now contemplating a big decision.

Things have not gone according to plan for the 18-year-old since his loan move to Ibrox, as he has started just two league games so far.

The versatile attacker is yet to get on the score sheet, but Moore did get plaudits for his performance against Hibernian last week, picking up an assist as Rangers emerged 2-0 winners.

The youngster would have had hopes of playing in the Champions League, but Moore will now have to settle for Europa League football this season after the Scottish side crashed out in the qualifying round.

Why Moore is unhappy with his role at Rangers

Football Insider have now claimed that the teenager is unhappy with his role at the Scottish club so far.

It is revealed that Russel Martin, who has deployed Moore in both flanks, has instructed the Tottenham Hotspur youngster to tuck inside rather than stay outside.

Sources with knowledge of the player’s situation believe this tactical instruction is the reason why we have not seen the best of Moore in a Rangers shirt yet.

Tottenham have the option to end the loan spell in January, and it is asserted that the North London club could seriously consider activating the option and ending his stay in Glasgow prematurely.

Tottenham may explore a different loan move for Mikey Moore

Football Insider say that if Spurs do recall Moore, the likely outcome is that the club will send the youngster on loan elsewhere for the second half of the season.

It is explained that the winger will have no shortage of suitors in the winter if he is made available on loan.

The outlet points out that many EFL clubs, including Birmingham City and Middlesbrough, wanted to sign Moore in the summer, and suggests that those clubs could reignite their interest if the Spurs man becomes available.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to add to their defensive stocks in January, with two experienced Premier League centre-backs in their sights.

According to various reports, Spurs wanted to add another centre-back to the squad in the summer, but they were unable to do so before the window slammed shut.

There have already been suggestions that a top-class defender would be one of Spurs’ top priorities in January.

We have heard over recent days that Tottenham may explore a move for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, and now, two other names have also been mooted as targets for Spurs.

Thomas Frank could raid Brentford for Tottenham recruits in January

This update comes from TEAMtalk, who say that Spurs have already put aside a portion of their budget to strengthen in central defence.

The report claims that Tottenham Hotspur kept a close eye on Brentford defender Nathan Collins in the summer, and the club are expected to look at the Bees captain again in the winter as Thomas Frank eyes a reunion.

The publication adds that Nathan Ake was also in Spurs’ sights in the summer, and the City star is another player the Lilywhites may explore a deal for when the transfer window reopens.

Frank will soon receive a major defensive boost

The Tottenham boss has so far been restricted to using just Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Kevin Danso at centre-back due to the injuries Spurs have in their squad.

In fact, Frank even played Joao Palhinha in the heart of defence against Doncaster Rovers last week, and the experiment worked.
