Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has assured the blown out cost of their stadium upgrade won't affect their transfer budget.

It was confirmed on Sunday Spurs' first game in their new ground will be against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, April 3 - seven months after they were due to move in.

Sky Sports reports at a meeting with the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust on Tuesday, Levy said "with a debt of £637m, subject to reasonable assumption on interest rates, the net spend on players would not be affected".

But the chairman did concede qualifying for the Champions League would give Spurs - who are currently three points above fifth-placed Manchester United - "more flexibility" in the market.

Levy was also asked by the club's supporters why they have not signed a player in the last two transfer windows. Levy said striking deals had been "tricky" and he was disappointed the market "wasn't as liquid as it had been previously".
