'Imminent' Tottenham takeover claim made as new era beckons for North London giants

North London giants Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of being taken over by a consortium led by Iranian-American businessman Jahm Najafi, according to reports.

The consortium, which is said to be worth in the region of £3.75billion, is said to be in advanced talks with Tottenham's current owners, ENIC, over a potential deal.

The news comes as Tottenham prepare for a new era under manager Antonio Conte, who has led the club to a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.

Najafi is a co-owner of the Phoenix Suns NBA team and has been linked with a takeover of Tottenham for several months.

If the deal goes through, it would be the biggest takeover of a Premier League club since Todd Boehly's consortium bought Chelsea last year.

Tottenham have been linked with a number of high-profile players this summer, including Richarlison, Raphinha and Alessandro Bastoni.

The club are also in talks with Inter Milan over a potential deal for defender Milan Skriniar.

Tottenham's new owners are expected to provide Conte with significant funds to strengthen his squad this summer.

The club are also planning to build a new stadium, which is due to open in 2026.

The takeover of Tottenham would be a major coup for Najafi and his consortium.

The club are one of the biggest in England and have a large global fanbase.

Najafi is a successful businessman with a track record of success in the sports industry.

He is also a minority owner of the Golden State Warriors NBA team.

Tottenham fans will be hoping that the takeover will lead to a new era of success for the club.

The club have not won a major trophy since 2008 and are looking to challenge for the Premier League title and Champions League in the coming years.
