Former West Ham United defender Tony Gale said on the Sky Sports Now show on Sky Sports News HQ on Monday morning (broadcast from 11am, May 8, 2017) that Tottenham Hotspur will not be a threat next season.

“I can’t see them at Wembley being a threat,” said Gale on the Sky Sports Now show on Sky Sports News HQ on Monday morning (broadcast from 11am, May 8, 2017). “I think they may have to wait another season before they get back to the Lane.”

General view of White Hart Lane

Tottenham will leave White Hart Lane at the end of the season and will play their home matches at the Wembley Stadium in London during the 2017-18 campaign.

According to The Sun, Spurs’ new stadium is set to be ready for the start of the 2018-19 season, meaning that for one year the North London outfit will call Wembley their home.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have a disappointing record at Wembley, having won only one of their past nine matches at the stadium.

Spurs may not win the Premier League title this season, but they have been Chelsea’s most consistent challengers and should clinch the runners-up spot.

During the 2015-16 campaign, Spurs were chasing eventual champions Leicester City until the final weeks before ending up in third place.
