Tottenham are on the verge of dropping their legal challenge to take the Olympic Stadium over after the 2012 Games, reports The Mirror. The club have been seeking a judicial review over the Olympic Park Legacy Company's (OPLC) decision to hand the £486million stadium in Stratford, east London, to West Ham following the Games.
But on Tuesday night it was reported Tottenham officials were involved in "intense negotiations" with London mayor Boris Johnson's office over plans to build a new stadium near their current ground.
The BBC said the two parties were "close" to striking a deal, with a senior government source revealing Spurs would drop their legal challenge if the negotiations were successful.
The Premier League team have been looking for government and mayoral support to build a bigger ground at a site in Northumberland Park, near White Hart Lane, for several months, but had been finding the cost prohibitive.
