Cain Hoy Enterprises said in a statement released on Friday that it is "at the preliminary stages of assessing a cash offer" for Tottenham and must announce whether it intends to make an official bid by no later than Oct. 10.
Cain Hoy, whose headquarters are in Greenwich, Conn., said it was releasing the statement "without the consent of Tottenham Hotspur."
Tottenham reacted by saying in a statement that the club "is not in takeover discussions with Cain Hoy or any other party,'' but confirmed officials had met with representatives of the U.S. company regarding financial options for the building of a new stadium.
The statement said:
"As stated in yesterday's announcement regarding the new stadium project, THFC has been in discussions with multiple providers of finance so that the optimum financing package for the project can be achieved and, in the course of those considerations, has met representatives of Cain Hoy. However, there are no ongoing discussions with Cain Hoy.
"The club is focused on the new stadium development and the season ahead."
