Paul Merson believes Tottenham Hotspur will struggle to replicate their form next season.
Spurs have been the most consistent team at the top of the Premier League for the past two year but are set to miss out on the title once again.
Merson believes the move to Wembley will be a serious blow to their aspirations in 2017/18.
Speaking to SkySports, he said: “I’m looking at this team and I’m thinking, ‘if this team stays together, they have got every chance of winning the Premier League within the next two years’.
“Now they go to Wembley, I ain’t sure it can happen next season.”

Tottenham are switching stadiums for one season, leaving White Hart Lane behind so it can be demolished to make way for their new ground, which is expected to be ready in time for the 2018/19 campaign.
Spurs have played at Wembley regularly this season, in the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup, and have struggled badly, winning only one match.
Doubter… Paul Merson
Fans can only hope that the poor results at the ground this campaign can swiftly be swept aside with a couple of good early results next season and the national stadium will begin to feel like home.
White Hart Lane has been a fortress this season with Spurs unbeaten at home in the league, heading into their final match of the season there against Manchester United.
