Sheikh Jassim 'could launch a SHOCK takeover bid for Tottenham' after withdrawing his offer for Manchester United... after Qatar Sports Investments met with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy at the start of the year

Qatar's Sheikh Jassim could make a sensational offer to purchase Manchester United's Premier League rivals Tottenham after failing in his bid to take control at Old Trafford, claim reports.

Last week the Qatari bid, spearheaded by Jassim, withdrew from the race to buy United after it emerged Sir Jim Ratcliffe's offer for a minority stake was more appealing to the Glazer family.

The INEOS boss, a boyhood United fan, initially lodged a bid for a majority stake in the club when the Glazers announced last November that they were open to either bringing in investment or completing a full sale.
