Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has been asking him about the new stadium again recently.

The duo are in constant dialogue over various topics but the stadium progress is one that keeps cropping up.

This week the club announced that all of their February matches will be played at Wembley as problems with the safety systems at their 62,062-seater new stadium are yet to be fixed.

Some pundits and managers, as well as some of the club's fans, have called on the club to write off the season and remain at Wembley where they are playing well, before moving into their new home next season.

Pochettino was asked on Friday whether March's north London derby might be a good potential opener for the new stadium.

"For me this Sunday would be perfect to play. How is the stadium today?" he joked. "For me to have the opportunity to move to our new stadium will be massive, massive, massive, massive thing for us, massive for our fans.

"I cannot wait to move there and start to play. I told Daniel, for me, because you know he always listens to the rumours, listens to people talking and always arrives in my office and says 'what do you think is going to be good, to move there or not?'.

"I said '200 per cent Daniel, in the moment that it will be ready to play, we need to move there and start to create our home there'. It's going to be a massive impact for us."

Pochettino was pushed further on why he would want to leave Wembley during the middle of a title race when the team is so settled there now.

"Why? Because I'm a positive person. I believe that I can find a better place to play, a better situation, better things," he explaiend. "If you are a person who is scared to go outside your comfort zone, it's difficult to find something different.

"For me I am a person who always tries to cross the line, to put myself in a difficult situation, to be out of my comfort zone. That is why I am here. If not, you know if you are scared to cross this line, it's so difficult to improve, to learn.

"For me, always think that in a place that I don't know is going to be the happiness is going to be the positive things or better than today."
