Spurs given extra time to complete new stadium

Tottenham Hotspur have been given extra time to complete the build of their new stadium, the Evening Standard reports.

Spurs are preparing to start the new campaign with a run of away games after discussions with the Premier League about their options if the stadium is not completed in time for the start of the 2018/19 season.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy discussed the possibility of delays in a recent meeting with the governing body who said the likelihood is that their early league fixtures will be played away from home.
