[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM Reporter] ENIC, the largest shareholder of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League, invested an additional £100 million (about KRW 189 billion) in the club.

Tottenham said in an official statement on the 9th (Korea Standard Time) that `ENIC's additional capital injection demonstrates the continued commitment of the Lewis family to Tottenham and its future.'

ENIC is a British investment company founded by Joe Lewis, which is now owned by the Lewis family's trust. Even after former chairman Daniel Levy, who led the club for the last 25 years, stepped down, ENIC, which owns 86.6% of the club, is supporting the club with the aim of stabilizing management and long-term growth.




"As stated a few weeks ago, our focus is on the stability of the club and on helping the management realize their ambitions," said Peter Cherrington, Tottenham's non-executive chairman. "The Lewis family also has great ambitions for the future. This capital injection reflects that commitment, and we thank them for their continued support." We will do our best to help CEO Vinay Venkatesham and his team take the club to the next level," he added.

An official from the Lewis family told local media in the UK that "this funding is just an early stage of additional support" and that "more funds could be invested if the team management decides what is needed to succeed." The Lewis family will give full support to Tottenham's success."

Meanwhile, Tottenham has recently been embroiled in rumors of a takeover. In early September, the club explicitly rejected two acquisition proposals, including the Roger Kennedy and Wing Pai Ng-led Firehawk consortium" he announced. Amanda Staveley's PCP International Finance later confirmed through the London Stock Exchange on September 8 that it had no intention of taking over, and Firehawk said the same a month later.




On Oct. 6, the third potential acquirer, American Brooklyn Eric, "will not pursue acquisitions."The attempt to acquire Tottenham seems to have ended, officially announcing that " He was a former DJ and led a group of U.S. investors on Sept. 26 and expressed unofficial interest, but Tottenham's board rejected it " explicitly." he said.

ENIC's additional £100 million investment shows that the Lewis family remains firmly in control of Tottenham despite the uncertain takeover controversy. At the same time, it is evaluated as a sign of substantial capital expansion to strengthen the club's financial stability and long-term competitiveness under the Vinay CEO system.
