Staveley set to make offer to Tottenham, reports Paul Vegas

Middle Eastern investors are supporting Staveley in her bid to acquire a stake in Spurs.

And a source told the Mirror: "Amanda is serious about being involved with Spurs, and is hoping that an initial purchase can be completed within weeks."

Staveley, with husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi, helped Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund buy Newcastle United before eventually stepping away over the summer.

Now the pair are working towards a fresh return to football with Tottenham before the turn of the year.
