TOTTENHAM chairman Daniel Levy and owner Joe Lewis are thought to be undecided over whether they want to listen to offers for the whole club, sell a minority stake or remain in complete control.
Speculation is mounting that Spurs could be the latest 'big six' club to go on the market, following reported plans for a £3.5 billion takeover bid by Iranian-American billionaire Jahm Najafi, as well as interest from Paris Saint-Germain's Qatari owners in buying a minority stake.
Levy is understood to have held conversations with a number of interested parties in recent months, and there is a feeling from potential investors that he and Lewis are open to a deal - although Spurs deny the club is for sale and insist the pair remain fully committed.
Standard Sport has been told that prospective bidders believe Levy, who has indicated he would want to remain at the club in the event of any deal, and Lewis have not yet decided if they want to listen to offers for the club outright, seek a minority partner or do nothing.
