Tottenham urged to stay in North London

Tottenham have been asked to stay in North London, after the Greater London Authority (GLA) and Haringey Council offered relief for infrastructure planning payments.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "The club knows there is no more money available from the public purse and I sincerely hope that they accept the offer we have made."

Tottenham had been hoping to move into the Olympic Stadium, but West Ham later won the bid for the stadium once the event finishes.

Haringey Council leader Claire Kober said: "It is critically important that Spurs commit to Tottenham to help drive forward regeneration in this very deprived area."
