Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has become the highest-profile casualty of the club’s new stadium delay - after having his car broken into.

The vehicle was parked on the Sainsbury's site next to White Hart Lane as the new stadium car park is not yet ready.

Spurs have declined to comment but Levy and several club officials are understood to have been among the owners of up to seven cars that were broken into.

The attackers were caught on CCTV using a device to pop open the boot.

It is the latest setback for the club for whom Tottenham’s new £1billion arena have seen them playing at Wembley for the remainder of this calendar year.

The north Londoners hope to be back in the early part of 2019 but, as a contingency plan, Spurs have also taken out an option on Wembley until the end of the season.

Despite their fine form which has resulted in six consecutive wins in all competitions, club captain Hugo Lloris believes playing at the national stadium could be holding them back.

Some fans have decided against traveling to the national stadium with all the added costs involved while the Wembley surface has attracted widespread criticism from home and opposition players.

Spurs are third in the table, five points off leaders Manchester City.

But they have fought back from a poor Champions League start to take their fate in the elite European competition to a final game in Barcelona next month.

France skipper Lloris said: “The big target is to keep our place in the top four.

“You need to accept the context. One more season homeless, we need to deal with Wembley another season and we do not know until when. It demands a lot of energy.

“But we are ready to deal with that. We have no choice. We will see where we are in the second part of the season but, for me, Liverpool and Manchester City are the favourites for the title. We will see. A lot can happen.”
