Tottenham chairman Levy: £1bn stadium? We just don't know

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is adamant their new stadium will be a financial success.

However, Levy wouldn't confirm it's cost £1billion to turn the dream into a reality.

"The true cost of the stadium, we don't really know at this moment in time because we're still making various improvements but it is of that order," said Levy.

"It was all financed by the club, a combination of club revenues and supportive banks. In terms of the pay back, it's over the long term. This stadium is going to be here way past the lives of any of us.

"We see increased revenue streams, not just from our core football club but also the activities that will take place on non-match days.

"When I took over this club Tottenham was obviously not a regular European challenger. My dream is to win. Winning is both on the pitch and off the pitch. We will keep going until we get both right."
