Tottenham to play all home games at Wembley stadium next season

Tottenham Hotspur, who had their most recent experience of Wembley in last weekend's FA Cup semi-final, which they lost 4-2 to Chelsea, have confirmed they will play all their home games there for the 2017-18 season while construction work on their new stadium takes place.

Their new club's 61,000-seater ground stadium which is expected to cost £750m is being built next to the site of their current home, White Hart Lane. It will create about 3,500 jobs in the area when it is finished, according to the club.

Tottenham played their Champions League and Europa League ties at Wembley this term but won just one of four games.

"This is an incredibly exciting time in the history of the club," said club chairman Daniel Levy in a statement.

"Wembley will be our home for a season and then we will return to what will be one of the best stadiums of its kind and the most unique in the world playing host to NFL (American football) games too - a stadium that will be key to our future growth and success."

Tottenham, who are four points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea with five games remaining for them this season, will play Manchester United in their final game at the current White Hart Lane on 14 May.
