Tottenham are closing in on a double deal that would see the club spend a season playing Premier League matches at Wembley and all cup games at MK Dons, while their new stadium is built.

The Londoners are in formal talks with the Football Association and MK Dons bosses, with an official announcement expected as early as next month.

Sources close to the club believe that during the 2017-18 season Spurs will use Wembley for its 19 'home' Premier League matches and the MK Dons stadium for all domestic and European cup games.

Decent cup runs in the FA Cup and Capital One Cup, plus qualification to either the Champions League or Europa League would see the club play in the region of 10 games at Milton Keynes.

The revelation means Spurs are on course for a Wembley groundshare with Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge club is thought to be close to announcing they will relocate to the national stadium for three years from the 2017/18 campaign.

Tottenham are pressing ahead with a new ground adjacent to White Hart Lane but the construction process will mean that they need to play their fixtures away from their home for one season.

They have been exploring their options but the possibility of playing at the Olympic Stadium and Upton Park have been all but ruled out.

Spurs hope to move into their new 61,000 capacity stadium in time for the 2018/19 season.

The FA have decided to scrap all non-essential events from the Wembley schedule to accommodate the groundshare, which could be worth over £41m. Chelsea have offered £33m to play at Wembley for three years, while Spurs have offered the FA £8m for one season.

The groundshare could see an estimated 50 football matches played at the national stadium during the season, compared with a current average of just 30 events per year, which includes football, NFL games, rugby league and concerts.

Chelsea and Spurs moving into Wembley would increase the chances of England playing home matches around the country at grounds such as Old Trafford, Villa Park and St James Park.

Both clubs would play in front of a reduced capacity. Under the terms of an agreement with Brent Council, an unlimited number of matches can be held at Wembley if the attendance falls under 50,000 spectators.

That would involve shutting the top tier and cutting off 40,000 seats but that would still offer Spurs and Chelsea bigger capacities than their current stadia.

It remains unclear how the clubs and the FA will split revenues from merchandising and catering, as well as costs.
