The group's statement has triggered an immediate denial from Enic itself that it has any knowledge of such a transaction.
The claim, if substantiated, would represent one of the most significant ownership developments in recent Premier League history. Based on the £4.25bn valuation attributed to the club in September 2025, a 24.99 per cent stake would be worth approaching £1bn.
Eight Sports Capital is owned by Triller, an American entertainment and technology company controlled by Wing-Fai Ng and Richard Tsai. Its chief executive is Brooklyn Earick, a technology entrepreneur and lifelong Tottenham supporter who headed a consortium that made an informal expression of interest in buying the club in September 2025 — an approach Tottenham "unequivocally rejected" at the time.
Enic responded with a firm denial.
"We can confirm that neither Enic nor THFC are aware of any sale by Daniel Levy's Family Trust of its minority stake in Enic, THFC's parent company. The THFC board and executive team remain fully focused on delivering the commitments we set out to fans at the end of the season."
Levy stepped down as executive chairman in September 2025 after 24 years in the role following a restructuring triggered by the Lewis Family Trust, the club's ultimate owners. Under his tenure Tottenham won the 2008 EFL Cup, finished second in the Premier League in 2016-17 and won last year's Europa League, while also delivering the 62,850-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the club's state-of-the-art training ground.
Their record on the pitch, however, attracted sustained criticism from supporters who felt significant investment never translated into sustained success.
The conflicting claims leave the situation unresolved. No price has been disclosed by Eight Sports Capital, and Enic's denial leaves the legal standing of any reported transaction entirely unclear.
