Spurs 'considering mini-Wembley at Enfield'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly considering having a Wembley-style pitch installed at the club's Enfield training base.

Following their third-place finish in the Premier League last term, Spurs will compete in next season's Champions League and have agreed a deal to play all of their home fixtures at the national stadium rather than White Hart Lane, which is due to be rebuilt in the coming seasons.

White Hart Lane has one of the smallest pitches in the Premier League, measuring 100m x 67m, while Wembley is a larger 105m x 69m.

According to The Telegraph, Pochettino is planning to change the dimensions of one of the first-team training pitches at Enfield to mirror Wembley and cut down on time-consuming trips to the actual stadium.

Pochettino has also ordered the construction of a 45-bedroom lodge at Enfield, allowing players the opportunity to sleep between morning and afternoon training sessions.
