Qatar Sports Investment speak to Levy - The investment that Spurs need desperately

CBS Sports reported on Sunday that QSI, the current owners of PSG are interested in buying a minority stake in another football club, and have held a meeting with Daniel Levy.

QSI chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi met with Levy earlier this week in London for exploratory talks. These talks are nothing to get too excited about, but nonetheless an exciting proposition for Spurs, who cannot financially compete with the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.

This is certainly welcoming news for the thousands of frustrated Tottenham fans at the minute, who are rightfully dissatisfied with the lack of investment in the January transfer window, and particularly the refusal to pay the release clause of top target, Pedro Porro.

Investment from QSI is desperately what the club needs. Daniel Levy looks extremely unlikely to sell the club altogether, and the club is in a relatively high amount of debt after the completion of the stadium, which exceeded cost of over £1 billion.

The investment will unquestionably allow Tottenham to constantly compete at the top of the Premier League, and the lack of money spent in transfer windows is concerning as Spurs slowly increase the gap between themselves and those at the top of the Premier League.

There will inevitably be questions about human rights, similarly to how the Qatar World Cup was questioned in November, and it is important that Spurs take the stance of condemning human rights violations. Nowadays, investment from Middle Eastern companies is increasing in football, such as with Manchester City, and most recently, Newcastle United.

There is a long way to go in terms of something being agreed, but Daniel Levy seeking out investment into Tottenham Hotspur is a massive positive from a fan perspective. The current squad is in dire need of improvement. It would be a waste to see Harry Kane, arguably the club’s greatest ever player, leave without at least one trophy.

Additionally, this will help convince Antonio Conte to sign a contract, who is a talented manager in the world of football, and it would also be a waste to see the Italian leave due to the club’s lack of ambition.

A positive sign for the investment is that QSI is looking to invest, and not to purchase a whole football club, which rules out the up-for-sale Liverpool and Manchester United. This means that a club like Spurs is the ideal candidate for what QSI is looking for.

Tottenham could finally be receiving the extra boost of cash that they are in desperate need for, which is a prospect which fans can be excited about.
