Tottenham Secure Betano Sponsorship After Aston Villa Partnership Ends
Tottenham Hotspur have been praised for striking an impressive sponsorship agreement with Betano, the betting company that recently ended its successful partnership with Aston Villa.
Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson believes Spurs have pulled off an excellent deal, suggesting that London’s appeal may have been a decisive factor in convincing Betano to switch clubs.
The company has been unveiled as Tottenham’s new training kit sponsor ahead of the 2026-27 season, when Premier League clubs will no longer be allowed to feature gambling brands on the front of their shirts. Betano previously enjoyed a productive spell with Aston Villa, who won the Europa League and secured two top-four Premier League finishes in the last three seasons.
Given Villa’s recent success compared to Tottenham’s disappointing campaign, Borson admitted he was surprised by the move. He suggested Betano may simply have wanted to expand its brand by partnering with a different club, while Spurs could also have offered a more attractive commercial package.
According to Borson, several factors may have influenced the decision, including the company’s possible London-based operations, the hospitality opportunities available at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the convenience of entertaining key clients in the capital. He stressed that sponsorship agreements are shaped by many commercial considerations beyond on-field performances.
Meanwhile, the rivalry between the two clubs could continue in the transfer market. Aston Villa are reportedly considering reviving their interest in Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, with the 20-year-old said to be open to seeking more regular playing time. Spurs remain keen to keep the Swedish youngster, but Villa boss Unai Emery is believed to admire his potential and could attempt to lure him to Villa Park this summer.
