Tottenham finances could be dealt a serious blow if there are no substantial reductions in the cost estimates for the upcoming new stadium.

It was originally thought that the new 61,000 seater stadium will cost around £ 400 million. Just like arch rivals and neighbours Arsenal, Spurs were planning to get much of the funding done through the sale of sponsorships and loans. The sale of the property where the White Hart Lane – the club’s existing ground – is located could also fetch a sizeable amount required to build this new stadium.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has claimed that his team wants to beat Olympiakos in the upcoming Champions League group game but not because to help Arsenal.

The Gunners need an overwhelming favourite from the German club in order to have any hope of qualification to the last 16.

However, there appears to have been slight modifications to the plan and the stadium capacity has now been taken to just over 60,000. This would make Tottenham’s new ground as the biggest in London and going even beyond the Emirates stadium, which can hold 60,000.
