London: Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is confident the club will be able to move into their new stadium before the New Year after a series of expensive delays.

The Argentine said he had been reassured by chairman Daniel Levy that Spurs would be able to occupy their new 62,000-seater home, built over their old stadium White Hart Lane, by Christmas.

Tottenham have been forced to continue playing home games at Wembley this season after several delays, including safety concerns, pushed back their move to their new home from the intended date of September 15.

“[We will move] this year. I am confident,” Pochettino said.

“I had some private conversation with Daniel. I think they are confident. They are working hard to try to find the solution. I hope before Christmas we can play.”
