Should White Hart Lane Station be renamed Tottenham Hotspur?

A railway station near Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium is to be renamed after the football club, it has been reported.

Spurs have been telling potential commercial partners White Hart Lane station will be rebranded Tottenham Hotspur, according to The Guardian.

The club have been lobbying Transport for London (TfL) over the switch for more than two years.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan previously insisted Spurs should pay more than £14.7 million for the name change but it will not have to meet this asking price, The Guardian reported.

Spurs did not respond to a request for comment. The club were originally due to move into their new 62,000-seater home in September last year, but the project has suffered delays.

Their first match at the venue will be against Crystal Palace on April 3.

It was reported sportswear brand Nike had bought the rights for the ground to be called the Nike Stadium but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said no deal has been agreed.
