Tottenham close to £400m stadium sponsorship
Tottenham are seeking a record-breaking naming rights deal for their new stadium of £20 million over 20 years, a £400million total that would eclipse the club’s previous commercial performance.
A deal at that level, which would eclipse Arsenal’s £100million 15-year deal with Emirates and rival Manchester City’s £350million shirt-and-stadium deal with Etihad, would appear to rely on an overseas investor seeking to make a major splash in the UK and Europe.
The naming-rights deal is a central plank of the stadium plan, which received a boost on Monday with confirmation of a £27 million of public-sector investment in the area around the ground. The club and Haringey Council have agreed they will work together to invest in the local area, with the council contributing £9million, subject to approval from the council cabinet next week. London mayor Boris Johnson is also providing £18million.
Spurs welcomed Haringey’s contribution but in an indication of continued tension, Johnson issued a statement suggesting the club were dragging their feet on the project.
