purs face £12m fee to rename local station after club

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been told to pay an eye-watering £12 million to rename White Hart Lane station after the club.

It is believed the Premier League club want to rename the London Overground station 'Tottenham Hotspur Station' to coincide with the planned opening of its new £400million stadium in 2018.

The station is just a few minutes’ walk from the site of the new 61,000-seater venue and Spurs are keen that it remains strongly identified with the club, particularly as there are plans for a walkway that will lead directly to the ground.

According to Squawka, Transport for London are prepared to change the name of the station but will ask Tottenham to pay a fee and meet all associated costs including changing signage and maps – a move which could cost the club up to £12m.

Tottenham are expected to play their home matches during the 2017/2018 season at Wembley to allow work to be completed on the new site.
