Tottenham will this week learn whether or not their revised plan for a new stadium at White Lane will receive approval from Haringey council.
The club plan on moving into a new 61,000 capacity ground at the beginning of the 2018/19 season which will be located almost exactly in the same position as the current ground.
The project will cost an estimated £400 million and includes plans for 579 new affordable homes as well as an 180 room hotel which will provide a much-needed economic boost to the area.
To help finance the new stadium, Daniel Levy has struck a deal with the NFL to host two games a year at the refurbished White Hart Lane and Mark Waller, the executive president of the NFL, wrote to the local council last month to express his optimism at the role this would play in the refurbishment of the area.
Levy will hope that this along with the creation of hundreds of new jobs will sway the council’s decision to approve the plans which will see Spurs have the largest club ground in London.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have yet to find a temporary home for themselves in their two seasons away from their native home while building is taking place.
Daniel Levy had initially hoped to secure Wembley, however, the Evening Standard reports that Chelsea look likely to have persuaded the FA to award the national stadium to them whilst Stamford Bridge is refurbished.
As a result, the most likely destination for Spurs, remains the Stadium MK in Milton Keynes which has been greatly rejected by fans of the North London club.
