Tottenham Hotspur’s majority shareholders will not put the Premier League club on the market but would be prepared to sell if a big cash offer came along, Sir Keith Mills, non-executive director, said.

The club, which revealed a record £33.4m pre-tax profit for the year to June 30 – up from £3m last year – is in the hands of Joe Lewis, the currency trader, and Daniel Levy, chief executive, who own a combined 85 per cent of the shares.
