Amanda Staveley, who with husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi helped orchestrate Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's whopping £305million acquisition of Newcastle United, is poised for another entry into the Premier League landscape.
This time, Tottenham could be the beneficiaries as Staveley and Ghodoussi, guests of Spurs during Brentford's recent visit, are reportedly engaged in high-level negotiations to acquire a significant stake in the north London outfit.
As Joe Lewis' control over Tottenham ebbs away, the club is on the hunt for fresh investment. It is anticipated that Staveley and her partner will snap up shares from billionaire Lewis' family trust, marking their assertive return to the top tier of English football.
Per the Mirror, an informed source shed light on the development, saying: "Amanda is serious about being involved with Spurs, and is hoping that an initial purchase can be completed within weeks."
Following their departure from Newcastle this summer, after forging a profound imprint on the club's administration post-Saudi takeover, Staveley and Ghodoussi are now courting Middle Eastern wealth once more to support their Tottenham ambitions.
The Newcastle faithful, who had embraced the couple amidst their vocal backing of cherished manager Eddie Howe, felt the sting of their exit.
Staveley herself confessed to her emotional ties with the club, revealing: "I am devastated. The club has become part of my DNA."
Staveley, previously reticent about her commercial manoeuvres earlier this season, divulged to The Athletic her willingness to get into new Premier League opportunities.
He said: "My preference would have been to stay with Newcastle, but life doesn't always work out exactly how you want it to. Nothing is going to replicate that.
"I fell in love with Newcastle, the club and the people and that can't change, but I didn't want to get in Newcastle's way. It's got to be about what's best for Newcastle.
"Mehrdad and I are keen to be hands-on. We're hard-working people, I love to be very busy and to engage and I love football.
"Very sadly, we have to move on to other projects and that might involve us taking a stake in another club or buying another club and that's difficult. But it's possible."
