Tottenham may not return to their renovated stadium until February.
The Sun reports there is still work to be done including electrical and construction issues and Paul Miller, who played for Spurs over 200 times, claims February is a more realistic date.
Reported by Love Sport Radio, he said: "When it's ready, it's ready. The expectancy was it would be fired up and for whatever reason it didn't get done. But it will be done very soon.
"You see it every day on the social media. It looks magnificent.
"I'm sure it's not a long way off. I've certainly been informed within the club that we're looking at February as the start date.
"It still gives us three months but if you look at when we came out of there, it will have been 21 months.
"To build a stadium of that size and structure on the same site in 21 months is wonderful. It's a great thing for us all to look forward to."
