Daniel Levy, the Tottenham Hotspur chairman, has revealed the pressure he is facing to prove funding is in place for the club’s new £750million stadium in an email to London City Hall and Haringey Council.

Telegraph Sport revealed this week that Levy and owner Joe Lewis could still sell a minority stake in Tottenham to help cover the final cost of the stadium project, which includes the regeneration of the local area.

The London Evening Standard has now published details of an email sent by Levy to City Hall aide Simon Cooper and Haringey Council leader Claire Kober in which he claims the club has been “taken for granted” and accuses Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s administration of taking “little interest” in the scheme.

But, aside from the row, Levy more significantly reveals the views of Tottenham’s bankers and non-executive directors, former HSBC banking chief Kevan Watts and managing director of investment fund Tavistock Group Ron Robson, have “hardened” because of the scale of funding that is needed.
