Daniel Levy declares Spurs want to host Champions League final

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy says they want to host the Champions League final at their new stadium.

Levy believes the 62,062-seat stadium has already proved it can be a fitting venue for the showpiece occasion.

He told the London Evening Standard: “We have been delighted with the reaction from our fans and all visitors since we officially opened our new home two weeks ago. Our aim was always to create an iconic multi-use venue capable of hosting world-class events.

“We have the top Uefa stadium status, which means the venue is fit to stage any European football event, and we believe the stadium's extensive capabilities, particularly the flexibility of having two surfaces, mean we can host a vast range of world-class sporting and entertainment events.

“We'd be open to having conversations if the relevant organisations were interested in using our stadium.

“We want this venue to be visited by millions throughout the year and having secured such big attractions in Tottenham like Premier League football, Saracens and the NFL, this can only boost the economy in London."
