Tottenham worried new stadium will miss launch date

There's concerns Tottenham won't have their new stadium ready next season.

The Mirror says Spurs are in a race against the clock to complete their new stadium by the start of next season.

Chairman Daniel Levy and manager Mauricio Pochettino were updated on progress during a tour of the 61,559-capacity arena on Friday.

But the club are still unable to say if it will be ready to host the opening games of next season.

They have already spoken to the Premier League about rearranging some early fixtures, but have been told there is only limited scope for home matches to be pushed back.

There is no suggestion the new White Hart Lane will need more time than that, with a later start to the season following the World Cup buying Spurs some extra breathing space.
