However, Uber face competition from a large number of potential partners in a deal Spurs hope will last for between six and fifteen years.
Leading contenders include the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the oil-rich country’s sovereign wealth fund.
QIA have bankrolled PSG to four straight French titles and and are looking to make their mark on a Premier League club ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
Spurs are also looking at other ways to raise revenue such as hosting NFL matches at the redeveloped stadium.
The ground has been designed with American football facilities and a retractable pitch with the club confident of hosting two NFL matches per year.

Around the ground, 585 new homes, a 180-bedroom hotel, offices, a health centre and a club museum will take the project’s total cost to £700m.
