English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur is reported to be considering bidding for the new Wembley stadium.
It is said Spurs would offer to buy the stadium and lease it back to the English Football Association for England games and FA Cup semi-finals and the final.
The plan would require the club to take on huge debts, but reflects its desire to move to a bigger stadium. It has also been linked to moving into the London Olympic Stadium in 2012, with the capacity of around 60,000 after the Olympics.
