Tottenham Hotspur held the third highest average attendance in Europe last season, a report has confirmed.

The wide ranging report conducted by UEFA sought to organise the top 20 clubs by aggregate home league attendance last season.

Seven Premier League clubs made the final 20, as well as Rangers and Celtic, with Tottenham second only to Manchester United.

Spurs averaged over 67,000 fans last season, which totalled to over 1.2million attendees at home games.

London rivals West Ham and Arsenal did make the list, but there was no place for Chelsea.

The news will serve as a boost to fans still waiting for their new stadium to be unveiled.

The club’s new stadium — which is set to be completed in March — will actually have a small drop from that figure with the capacity standing at 62,062.

Daniel Levy has apologised for the delays and promised an update on the project by the end of January.

The findings come in the same week that Tottenham were granted council approval to increase the capacity for home matches played at Wembley Stadium.

Brent Council agreed to cap capacity for five domestic fixtures at 62,000, while any additional home Champions League ties could hold the full 90,000.

Home games against Watford, Newcastle United and Leicester City will remain capped at 51,000.
