Tottenham Hotspur took a step close to spending a season at Wembley Stadium after Football Association chairman Greg Dyke confirmed talks had taken place.

Spurs are currently without a home for the 2017-18 season when their new home at White Hart Lane is built.

Wembley Stadium has been the preferred option for Daniel Levy for some time although there had been some speculation that they could move in with MK Dons.

Dyke also confirmed that Tottenham's Champions League games could be played in the stadium next season.

"We’re in discussions with Tottenham that they should come in for a full season when they’re building their new stadium, and we are a long way down the path on reaching agreement," said Dyke.

"I think there are some discussions about whether they will play Champions League games at Wembley next year but I don’t know much about that. But on the full season (2017-18), I think we’re quite close to a deal."

Chelsea also want to move into Wembley Stadium while they demolish and rebuild Stamford Bridge, but that would be for a longer period of three years - it could also come after Spurs have moved back out.

Dyke added: "Chelsea have really exciting plans for that stadium – to demolish the whole thing and build a new one on the existing site. If they came, that would mean coming for three years."

Spurs plan to be in their new 61,000-seat stadium in time for the 2018-19 season.
