How much is Tottenham Hotspur worth?

""Chelsea went [for] five times their revenue," he said. "Spurs' revenue is probably in the region of 550m to 600m. You multiply that by five and you're probably looking at somewhere just short of three billion pounds. "But when Manchester United were partially acquired by Sir Jim Ratcliffe a couple of years ago, for every pound of revenue, they were valued at around about seven. You apply that to Spurs and you are probably looking three and a half to four billion.""

"American tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick has ruled out making a formal takeover bid for the club after Spurs "unequivocally rejected" an informal expression of interest. Last month the club also rejected approaches from former Newcastle United shareholder Amanda Staveley's PCP International Finance Limited and a consortium led by Dr Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng. Tottenham have insisted that the club is not for sale despite Levy's exit."

"Despite Tottenham's failure to win the top-flight since 1960-61, the club is an attractive proposition for potential investors. The club is located in London, their 62,850-capacity stadium is one of the most impressive in the country, and they also have an agreement to host up to 30 major non-football events per year - including NFL matches, concerts and boxing events. "Anybody buying Spurs, they've already future-proofed a lot of the spending that you might have to consider," Maguire told BBC Sport."

Tottenham Hotspur's estimated value is in the region of £3.5–4.0 billion. Club owners have rejected multiple informal approaches and maintain that the club is not for sale following the long-term executive chairman's departure. Club revenue is likely about £550–600 million, which implies a valuation close to £3 billion at a five-times revenue multiple, or £3.5–4 billion using a seven-times revenue multiple applied in recent Premier League transactions. The 62,850-capacity stadium hosts up to 30 major non-football events per year, adding commercial value. The stadium and London location make the club attractive to investors.
