Tottenham Hotspur could soon have a new minority investor if everything goes to plan. And if the speculation is to be believed, it could be Amanda Staveley and husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi.
Staveley left her role as a director at Newcastle in July, but admitted she was keen to get back into football. In an interview with the , she said: "Mehrdad and I are keen to be hands-on. We’re hard-working people; I love to be very busy and to engage, and I love football. Very sadly, we have to move on to other projects and that might involve us taking a stake in another club or buying another club, and that’s difficult. But it’s possible."
chairman admitted earlier this year that Spurs are looking for investment. " is what we're looking for," he said.

Levy himself does not make many public appearances, nor offer himself out to answer questions about the running of the club, apart from in those new yearly forums.
Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold said: "Tottenham and Levy like to work in the shadows, they try to do their business quietly and effectively. Amanda Staveley appears to be more of a public presence. She probably gave more interviews during her three years at Newcastle than Levy has done in the last 25 years!"
Levy's decision to work "quietly and effectively" in the background is a bone of frustration for Spurs supporters who want to know more about what is going on behind the scenes at times. Staveley coming in may just give the fanbase one thing they have been lacking from Levy in the last two decades.
