White Hart Lane could be renamed after Uber once the stadium’s £700m redevelopment is completed in 2018.

Tottenham are looking for a naming rights deal worth £20-25m and talks started with the taxi app giant back in July 2016, according to Squawka.

However, Uber face competition from a large number of potential partners in a deal Spurs hope will last for between six and fifteen years.

Leading contenders include the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the oil-rich country’s sovereign wealth fund.

Tottenham are also looking at other ways to raise funds such as hosting NFL matches at the redeveloped stadium.

Work on the stadium itself will cost between £400m and £450m with market-leading corporate hospitality and a massive single-tier stand to be constructed.

Around the ground, 585 new homes, a 180-room inn, workplaces, health centre and a club historical center will take the venture's aggregate cost to £700m.
