Tottenham Hotspur's future home is continuing to take shape, with the club sharing a spectacular new picture of the work on social media.

The picture is taken from the uppermost tier of the £800million construction, which will eventually become a 60,000-seat arena - and is not one for those afraid of heights.

The shot overlooks the old White Hart Lane, which will be demolished in order for Spurs' new home to go up in its place.

Tottenham are pulling down their old home to build the new 60,000 seat arena on top, which they hope will be ready in 2018

Aerial images show how the new stadium appears to be literally consuming the old, it will stand largely in the same place

Tottenham are wasting no time constructing the new ground, which they hope will be fit to host games by the start of the 2018/19 season.

The images show how the new arena is being built around the old one, as if literally consuming the former stadium in order to make way for the modern build.

Until then Spurs are being forced to relocate away from the Seven Sisters Road for a year, and will play home games at Wembley next season.

Construction vehicles tear down the former club offices at White Hart Lane. Work is going on around the clock to get ready.

The pitch - which had previously hosted countless talented footballers - is now mounds of dirt and construction materials

The old North Stand backs right onto the new build, and is likely to be among the next part to be brought crashing down

Tottenham held an extensive goodbye ceremony for the old White Hart Lane after their final game there last campaign, a 2-1 win over Manchester United.

There was no room for sentimentality from Spurs, who began demolition inside the old arena the day after the victory over United.

Their new home will boast a 17,000-seater 'Kop' style home stand and a retractable pitch so that Spurs can also host NFL American football matches.
