Tottenham are making quick progress towards the completion of their new stadium at White Hart Lane as they look to complete the lift of the roof in the coming weeks.

Spurs want to return from Wembley in time for next season and have had construction work going on day and night in their bid to get things finished on time.

The latest stage of that involves lifting the 600-tonne roof, described as an 'immense lift' by site manager Olly Clarke, with the process taking two-three weeks to rise into position before more work can be undertaken.

As revealed by Sportsmail earlier this month, the roof is planned to be on by spring which should see the £800million development accelerate to completion.
