American businessman Jahm Najafi’s anticipated offer of £3.1billion for Tottenham will fall short of the club’s valuation.
Sportsmail understands that Spurs' billionaire owner Joe Lewis values the Premier League club between £4bn-£4.5bn - with a proposed sale at £3.1bn described as 'impossible' by sources.
It is a well-known secret that Tottenham owner Lewis has been open to selling the club.
Chairman Daniel Levy is understood to have welcomed a number of potential buyers to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on a number of occasions in recent months.
But news of Iranian-American businessman Najafi’s interest in Tottenham, as revealed by the Financial Times, has thrown the club’s future back into the spotlight.
