Former Tottenham Hotspur executive chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly sold a 24.99% stake in the club’s parent company Enic to sports investment group Eight Sports Capital, according to the company.
The move would reduce Levy’s holding in Enic to 4.89%, though Enic has stated that neither the company nor Tottenham Hotspur are aware of any such sale by Levy.
Levy stepped down from his role in September 2025 after 24 years at the helm, following a restructuring initiated by the club’s ultimate owners, the Lewis Family Trust.
Eight Sports Capital Ltd is a sports investment firm owned by Triller, the American entertainment and technology company controlled by Wing-Fai Ng and Richard Tsai.
The group’s chief executive, Brooklyn Earick, an American tech entrepreneur who previously led a consortium interested in buying Tottenham last year, said the firm is targeting long-term involvement in the club’s ownership structure. At the time, Tottenham “unequivocally rejected” the informal expression of interest.
While no financial details have been disclosed, reports in September indicated Tottenham was valued at just under the £4.25bn paid for Chelsea in 2022, suggesting a near 25% stake could be worth close to £1billion.
Earick, described as an engineer, founder, and serial technology entrepreneur, has reportedly raised more than $25bn (£18.65bn) from global investors, including family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and leading institutions. He is also said to be a lifelong Tottenham supporter.
Before entering entrepreneurship, he worked as an engineer at NASA Ames Research Center, contributing to small spacecraft and satellite technology.
Levy, who became the public face of Tottenham for nearly a quarter of a century, oversaw the development of the club’s state-of-the-art training ground and its 62,850-capacity stadium, which opened in 2019 and is the second-largest club ground in England.
However, his tenure also attracted sustained criticism from supporters over the club’s limited on-pitch success, yielding just two major trophies — the 2008 EFL Cup and last season’s Europa League.
