Tottenham are to delay the decision whether or not to play next season’s home games at Wembley until the end of April.

Spurs were due to notify the Football Association by Friday whether they would host matches at the national stadium in 2017/18, but the club requested they be given more time.

Mauricio Pochettino's side were set to base at Wembley for a season while their new £800million stadium was completed, but there are concerns around the building work being finished in time. As a result, Tottenham could play out another season at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham will now have until April 30 to make a final call.

"We have agreed an extension until 30 April 2017 with WNSL in respect of the option to play home games at wembleystadium [sic] next season," Tottenham said via their official Twitter account.

"This is to give ourselves greater flexibility before making the final decision on the decommissioning of White Hart Lane.

"Our intention remains to spend next season at wembleystadium before returning to our new stadium in Tottenham for the 2018/19 season."

Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Show all 22 1 /22 Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Hugo Lloris – 5 out of 10 Aside from Lukaku’s strike, it was a very quiet afternoon for Lloris. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Eric Dier – 6 out of 10 Held the shape well and used possession efficiently to begin moves from the back. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Toby Alderweireld – 6 out of 10 Another encouraging display. Cleverly marked Lukaku out of the game for the majority. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Jan Vertonghen – 7 out of 10 Aside from his slip for the Everton goal, he was on exquisite form. He tackled hard and worked relentlessly. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Kyle Walker – 7 out of 10 Was good defensively, but even better going forward. He caused problems for the Everton defence with his deliveries. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Victor Wanyama – 6 out of 10 Rattled the woodwork with a sublime strike. Began a number of Spurs moves going forward. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Mousa Dembele – 5 out of 10 Made a habit of giving possession away with unnecessary inputs of skill. Getty Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Ben Davies – 6 out of 10 Caused problems for Coleman all day and he was tracking back well to support the defence. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Christian Eriksen – 7 out of 10 His deliveries throughout were difficult to defend for Everton. He was a key element to every Spurs attack. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Dele Alli – 6 out of 10 Drifted out of the game at times, but deserved his goal to cap off a great team performance. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Harry Kane – 9 out of 10 Began the scoring with a moment of magic and doubled his tally with another clinical finish. He’s a defenders worst nightmare. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Joel Robles – 4 out of 10 His poor decision to roll the ball out gave Kane his second goal on a plate – should be doing better than that. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Seamus Coleman – 5 out of 10 Gave Davies too much space out wide and should have had more of an input from an attacking perspective. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Ashley Williams – 6 out of 10 Lost the ball for Kane’s second, but it arguably was not his fault. Had a tough day defending the likes of Kane and Eriksen. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Ramiro Funes Mori – 5 out of 10 Looked lost against such striking ability. However, he did make a number of vital tackles throughout. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Leighton Baines – 6 out of 10 Defensively he did his job at the back, but it would have been encouraging to see him moving up the pitch more. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Idrissa Gueye – 7 out of 10 Worked relentlessly throughout and found himself on the end of every loose ball. Clumsy in his challenges at times though. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Morgan Schneiderlin – 5 out of 10 Was also at fault for Kane’s second goal. Incredibly quiet throughout and failed to make an impact. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Gareth Barry – 6 out of 10 Read the game well, but lost most midfield battles – needed to be stronger. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Tom Davies – 5 out of 10 Struggled to find his feet in his new attacking position. Failed to show his ability in possession. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Ross Barkley – 7 out of 10 Continued to create chances from nowhere and was hunting for possession constantly. His work rate is faultless. Tottenham vs Everton player ratings Romelu Lukaku – 6 out of 10 Aside from his goal, it was a quiet display from the team’s top goal scorer. He was marked out of the game and received very little service from the midfield.

An application for Tottenham to host 27 matches at Wembley has been approved by Brent Council's planning committee, but chairman Daniel Levy suggested this week they could yet continue at their current ground for another year.

That would mean potentially moving to Wembley for the 2018-19 campaign, although it is understood the current agreement only applies to next season. Any application for a new time-frame would have to start again from scratch.

Levy said: "Whilst everyone is eager to know if this is our last season at the Lane, we shall only make the decision to decommission our historic White Hart Lane when we have greater certainty on the delivery of the new stadium."

Tottenham hosted European fixtures at Wembley this season, but struggled for form and results.

They lost two of their three Champions League group games at the national stadium while a draw there against Gent saw Spurs crash out of the Europa League.
