Tottenham Hotspur Football Club (THFC) is investigating the possibility of increasing the capacity of its proposed multi-million pound stadium development in north London.

According to the Telegraph, the Premier League club is looking at building a 60,355-seat venue as part of its Northumberland Development Project (NDP), instead of 56,250.

The newspaper said that THFC aims to achieve the capacity increase without having to alter its plans, which have been drawn up by KSS Group, or apply for fresh planning consent.

THFC has sought to kick-start the NDP, which also comprises a wider regeneration of area surrounding the stadium, having lost out in the battle to acquire the Olympic Stadium.

Planning permission from Hackney Council and and the mayor of London has already been secured by the club, which is now being urged to "urgently" pursue its revamp vision.
