"The dream is to have a permanent NFL franchise based here," Khan said. "There are a couple of teams interested -- it takes 75 percent of the 32 teams to vote for it, if it's to happen."

Guess we should enjoy it while we have it.

Also "I've been saying since the first day I became mayor my ambition is to have more American football games in London and ultimately for there to be a franchise there and, dare I say it, even the Super Bowl," Khan said. "I met recently one of the owners of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Shahid Khan. I've met the NFL commissioner on a number of occasions, most recently at the game at Twickenham this year and my team is working very closely with the NFL."

Put the pieces together, he has only met a couple owners and some of them are interested in moving, I think its pretty obvious its us.

Interesting that the source article (which was before Khan offered on Wembley) mentions the NFL being excited about the new " new Tottenham Hotspur stadium " and agreeing already to a 10 year contract to play 2 games a year there.  Khan offering on Wembley after this contract is already done looks like a turf war for London now. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/mayor...-his-city/
