Tottenham Hotspur Football Club have released computer generated photos of their future stadium designs that if built would sit right next to current home, White Hart Lane.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said: ‘The brief I gave the architects was to design an iconic stadium that would be one of the best in Europe.
‘My over-riding priority is to re-create the terrific atmosphere we have at the current stadium, within a world class stadium that offers state-of -the-art facilities.
‘This means designing a stadium which has supporters as close as possible to the field of play and not simply looking to chase headline capacity.
‘Our fans will find themselves closer to the pitch than at any other comparable stadium in the UK. This design puts fan experience first.’
The new home, designed by stadium designers KSS, is expected to have a capacity of about 60,000.
‘Development projects on this scale take a long time from the initial starting point to final completion. Any new stadia we have seen recently would have been designed at least eight to 10 years ago.
‘We are designing for our future and this stadium design has been described as the first of the next generation of stadia.
‘This development is more than just somewhere where the team can play football. The Northumberland Development Project will deliver substantial investment for the future of the Borough and will benefit the community.
‘It’s about leaving a legacy for this great club and, once delivered, I hope all our fans around the world will be very proud.’
But KSS chairman David Keirle believes the design is groundbreaking and are all about the Spurs ‘brand’.
‘The visuals of the new stadium show that it’s really seen as a building which responds to the brand, which we see as representing style and flowing lines of football.
The roof has been designed to focus the noise back onto the crowd and onto the pitch. All seating is enclosed, there are no open corners, so everything is focused back onto the pitch and the acoustics will maximise the impact of the vocal support from fans.
