Spurs say the 55-year-old was taken to hospital on Monday morning after experiencing chest pains and breathing problems.
"Gary Mabbutt was admitted to hospital this morning where he will undergo heart surgery later after suffering chest pains and breathlessness," Spurs announced on their Twitter account.
