MATT BARLOW: It's takeover season! With Chelsea, Newcastle and Bournemouth sold and Man United and Liverpool on the market, now Tottenham are subject of a £3.1bn bid from an Iranian-American tycoon… and they WILL sell if the price is right

It is takeover season in the Premier League. First, Newcastle sold, then Chelsea, then Bournemouth. Manchester United and Liverpool officially on the market since November, and Everton in desperate need of rescue.

Now Tottenham, subject to fresh interest from billionaire businessman Jahm Najafi and his New York investment company, planning to offer £3.1billion for the north London club.

Spurs remain silent on the matter. There has been no approach, they insist. Nor is there any comment from Nafaji, an Iranian-American also linked to a move for Everton who attended their game against Southampton at Goodison Park last month.
