TOTTENHAM insist they are not in £1billion takeover talks with an investment group backed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Reports suggest Iconiq Capital have spoken to a number of Silicon Valley buyout firms about making an offer.
But the North London club have dismissed links to Facebook founder Zuckerberg – who is worth a staggering £49bn.
A statement read: “The Board is not in any discussions relating to a takeover offer for the club.”
The 33-year-old has had celebrity backing to buy a sports club from legendary American rapper Snoop Dogg.
Speaking in 2010, he tweeted: “Ayo sumbody tell Zuckerberg to holler at me. He n I need go buy a pro sports team tgether [sic].”
Meanwhile Estudiantes defender Juan Foyth, says club president Juan Sebastian Veron is trying to sell him to Spurs.
He said: “I know that my agent and Veron are travelling to speak with Tottenham. I am feeling relaxed.”
