Tottenham Hotspur would like to rename White Hart Lane station as "Tottenham Hotspur," a source told ESPN FC.
There are plans to fully redevelop the overground station -- which is a few minutes' walk from Tottenham's White Hart Lane home -- ahead of the opening of the club's new 61,000-seater stadium, which is scheduled to be ready for the start of the 2018-19 season.
On Tuesday, reports claimed Transport for London (TFL) is open to changing the name, but could demand as much as £12 million from Tottenham to meet the costs of altering all signage and maps.
Spurs are hopeful of renaming the station, just as their rivals Arsenal renamed Gillespie Road underground station to "Arsenal" in 1932, the source told ESPN FC.
The new stadium site is adjacent to White Hart Lane but it will not have the same name, and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy told ESPN's Ashley Fox last month that talks were underway with potential naming-rights partners.
Plans to redevelop White Hart Lane station were recommended for approval at a Haringey Council planning sub-committee hearing on Monday, although last month Tottenham said the project -- owned by TFL and London Overground Rail Operations Limited -- was "considerably behind schedule."
