Renowned rap artist Jay-Z has expressed interest in acquiring Tottenham Hotspur, a Premier League club valued at £2 billion ($2.6 billion). The current owner, Joe Lewis, is facing legal issues that could lead to the sale of the club.
Jay-Z, who has a personal fortune of $2.5 billion, is reportedly considering leading a consortium of American investors in the bid. He has previously expressed his admiration for Tottenham’s star player, Thierry Henry.
If Jay-Z is successful in his bid, he will become the first American rapper to own a Premier League club. This would be a significant development, as American investors already own several other top English clubs.
Jay-Z has already shown his interest in sports ownership, as he is a co-owner of the Brooklyn Nets NBA franchise. He has said that he is open to exploring new opportunities in the sports world, and a takeover of Tottenham would be a major coup.
The potential involvement of Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé, would add even more intrigue to the takeover saga. The couple is one of the most famous and successful in the world, and their presence would undoubtedly attract much American attention to Tottenham.
It remains to be seen whether Jay-Z will actually takeover Tottenham.
