AMANDA STAVELEY is stepping up a bid to buy into Tottenham.
Sources say the former
Newcastle co-owner is backed by “serious money” from the Middle East and wealthy individuals.
Staveley, 51, bought her shares in Newcastle in 2021 but
left the Tyneside club in July.
Now she has put together a fresh funding team and hopes to take an initial stake in
