Tottenham hoping for stadium move before Christmas

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that the club are likely to move in to their new stadium before Christmas. Spurs have so far delayed their move away from Wembley to the new White Hart Lane stadium, due to multiple project setbacks.

Spurs had hoped to move in to the 62,000 seater stadium sooner, but critical safety failures have also delayed the project.

"I am confident. This year. I am confident this year," Pochettino said. "I had some private conversation with Daniel. I think they are confident.

"They are working hard to try to find the solution. I hope before the year, before Christmas, we can play. That's my wish.

"We have conversations every day. He [Levy] called me before training and on Monday we took a coffee here at the restaurant.

"Sometimes he tells me, sometimes he opens the conversation about the stadium, sometimes I open the conversation and say, 'Daniel, how is the stadium?' and sometimes it's tough to explain.

"But yes we hope and we heard before, I am very confident before the end of the year.

"I hope that after that comment Daniel doesn't kill me! 'Why you put this expectation on me?' He's going to kill me."
