Tottenham have been in discussions with taxi firm Uber regarding plans for their new stadium, though it is understood a naming rights deal is not currently on the agenda.

If there is any arrangement, it is likely to concern transport to and from the ground, which will have a capacity of 61,000.

Tottenham hope to move into the stadium, adjacent to where White Hart Lane currently stands, at the start of the 2018-19 season.

The stadium itself will cost about £400million though the bill for the entire stadium project is likely to be closer to £750m.

To ease the financial burden, Spurs have agreed to stage NFL games at their new home and are looking for a British-record deal on naming rights.

Levy said: “I don’t think it’s something we’d want to try in our first game, but that is certainly realistic.

"How exciting: the idea of having the two biggest leagues in the world from a television perspective – fantastic! – play on the same day.”
