Lord Alan Sugar has posted a video on Twitter and an interesting verdict after being given a tour of Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium, which is reportedly set to finally open in February.

The Independent claimed that multiple set-backs have seen Spurs gone from moving in to their new ground from September, then November, and now February.

The report also claims that the spiralling costs of the new stadium will see Spurs splash out another £237million, after already spending their budget of £400million.

Former Tottenham chairman and owner Sugar posted a video from pitchside at Tottenham’s new ground, claiming it could be the best stadium in the world. He also spoke of being the first person to do something in the directors’ lounge.

Spurs new Stadium is set to hold a capacity of 62,000, 26,000 more than White Hart Lane could fit. It sees the new ground become the second biggest Premier League ground – behind only Manchester United.

It remains to be seen if Spurs will indeed vacate their new Stadium in three months’ time, though it has hardly affected their performance this season in the Premier League.

Nine wins from 12 league games sees Mauricio Pochettino’s side sit in fourth place, five points behind leaders Manchester City. They are next in action against London rivals Chelsea on November 24 after the international break.
