Daniel Levy, who has agreed to build an indoor circuit at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, was invited to the F1’s opening race of the season. Jahm Najafi was also present there as he holds a stake in the F1 racing team, McLaren. The rumors of a potential takeover sparked when the two met. However, according to reports, the chances of a Spurs takeover by Najafi look unlikely and the billionaire is said to be eyeing Everton instead of Spurs. Najafi has shown no interest in offering $3.75bn (£3.1bn) for the Spurs.

Najafi’s investment is in Everton is supposed to be backed by Gulf companies, most likely by a company from Abu Dhabi. It will boost Everton’s hope to end their trophy drought and will make them a strong contender in the league.
The most recent example of is Newcastle United, who are now in the top 4 in the Premier League and were close to winning a trophy. Manchester United defeated Newcastle in the finals of the EFL Cup. However, the progress under the new Gulf owners is clearly visible and the team has been performing well. Similar things can be expected from Everton if Najafi invests in the club.
