Tottenham Hotspur share latest stadium images

English Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur has released a series of images to update fans on the progress of construction work at its new stadium.

The London-based team is due to move into the £800m ($1.03bn/€938m), 61,000-seat venue in time for the start of the 2018-19 season.

Final stages of the project require the demolition of its White Hart Lane Stadium, as the new facility will overlap the club’s current home. The new images were released on Tottenham’s official Twitter account (@SpursOfficial).

Although Spurs has a deal in place to play its home games during the 2017-18 season at Wembley Stadium, while work takes place, it is not yet clear if the team will remain at White Hart Lane for the coming season.

The club has been given until April 30 to confirm its plans for 2017-18, as it seeks further assurances that its new stadium will be delivered on time for the following campaign.

Spurs could instead opt to play at White Hart Lane in 2017-18 and relocate to Wembley for the 2018-19 season, before moving into the new venue in time for the 2019-20 campaign.

However, this latter proposal could conflict with the plans of Premier League rivals Chelsea, who have also spoken of their desire to play at Wembley during the 2018-19 season while work is undertaken at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: “While everyone is eager to know if this is our last season at the Lane, we shall only make the decision to decommission our historic White Hart Lane when we have greater certainty on the delivery of the new stadium.”
