American rapper and businessman, Jay Z, is reportedly planning a remarkable ÂŁ2.2 billion takeover bid for Tottenham football club. This development comes after Tottenham's British owner, Joe Lewis, faced insider trading charges and pleaded not guilty. If Lewis is convicted, Jay Z is prepared to lead the bid alongside a group of US investors. This move comes years after Jay Z previously expressed interest in becoming a major investor in North London rivals Arsenal. With a net worth exceeding ÂŁ1.95 billion and a passion for soccer, Jay Z sees an opportunity to become involved at a board level with a club as globally renowned as Tottenham, should the circumstances be right. His love for England's "beautiful game" has him keen on the idea of owning a controlling interest in a top club, following the footsteps of other US-owned football clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
