TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR have unveiled the latest CGI video of what they expect their stunning new ground to look like.
The club have on-going construction of their new stadium while still playing at their old White Hart Lane ground.
The Northumberland Development Project is part of an urban regeneration scheme integrating a stadium initially for around 56,000 fans as well as 579 new homes, a hotel and a local community health centre.

And Spurs released stunning CGI fly-by footage of the ground both empty and full on a Premier League matchday, with the players walking out - before showing it in a slightly different configuration when the NFL comes to town.
The club hope to expand their new home to 60,000-plus seats when the construction is all done.
And with £400million being invested in the venue, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy knows it has to be a success so that the club do not struggle to compete in the transfer market in the future and make the whole operation financially viable.
Ground was broken on construction at the tail end of last season, with the foundations of the new ground rising slowly from the North London earth.
A corner has also been lopped off Spurs' current home - which hosts a massive clash with Chelsea in the Premier League this evening.
And shrewd chairman Levy has also been tying down his prize-assets in terms of playing staff, with the new stadium due.
Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris have all signed new contracts in recent months.
As SunSport reported yesterday, Alli is being looked at by Real Madrid, who see the playmaker as the next Zinedine Zidane - but Los Blancos would have to shell out top dollar to do so.
Executive director Donna-Maria Cullen has promised the atmosphere will also not be a letdown - compared to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium - as has also been the complaint at West Ham's new home, the London Stadium.
She said: "The atmosphere of the enclosure depends very much on its architecture.
"We work to optimise that in the new stadium, working especially with the team that manages the acoustics of U2 concerts.
"That is why, for example, the corners of the stadium will be closed, unlike the Emirates.
"In addition, we insisted to the architects that the stands be close, as at White Hart Lane.
"In our stadium, the pitch will be five metres closer to the fans than it is at the Emirates."
