Tottenham Hotspur's new £400 million stadium is being looked at by the NFL as a potential venue for a London-based franchise. Planning permission has been granted for Spurs to build a 56,000-capacity *stadium, which is scheduled to open for the 2018-19 season.
Chairman Daniel Levy has held discussions with numerous companies and potential sponsors over financing for the stadium and The Telegraph understands the NFL is interested in the development, although Tottenham insist there have been no talks.
Wembley has hosted NFL games since 2007, with three matches scheduled to be played at the national stadium as part of an international series this year. It is widely anticipated that an NFL team will eventually relocate to London, with the Jacksonville Jaguars, owned by Shahid Khan, who bought Fulham in 2013, the favourites to make the move.
