Pochettino urges fans for stadium patience

Spurs are expected finally to play there in January and asked for his views on the club's new arena he said: "Stunning. We were stunned. You expect you're going to find a nice stadium but when I saw the stadium it's like: 'Wow' It's difficult to talk", he told the 'Daily Mail'.

The Tottenham manager was among senior executives given a preview of ground last week and seemed genuinely awed by its scale, saying that it will be the best stadium in Europe.

"It's beautiful, amazing. An amazing place to enjoy football for our fans and our players. I am a little bit jealous of the players because, come on: to be in a changing room like this or a stadium like this is amazing.

"I would like to be twenty years old and playing for Tottenham. I say to our fans 'patience' as it's going to be the best stadium in Europe, for sure."
