'Surely this is too good to be true?': Tottenham fans are left divided over reports that Iranian-American billionaire Jahm Najafi is lining up a £3bn takeover... with some desperate to be free of ENIC and Daniel Levy, while others are wary of being saddle

There was a mixed reaction from Tottenham supporters after reports emerged on Wednesday morning that Iranian-American billionaire Jahm Najafi is lining up a £3bn takeover of the club.

Najafi is reportedly preparing a group of investors to launch a $3.75bn (£3.1bn) takeover bid for Tottenham, according to two people with direct knowledge of the plans.

The Financial Times report that Najafi - who is chair of MSP Sports Capital - is working with a consortium to prepare the structure of the huge bid and the group is expected to approach Spurs owner Joe Lewis and chairman Daniel Levy in the coming weeks.
