The newspaper reports that the club have taken up an option with the Football Association to extend their stay at the national stadium until December.

It comes after the building of Spurs’ new stadium, which was scheduled to open this month, was delayed.

The Mail say club officials believe there could come a point where Spurs have to commit to using Wembley for the rest of the season.

And The Sun say Fulham want Marcus Bettinelli to sign a new contract following his England call-up. West Ham and Crystal Palace are said to have shown interest in the goalkeeper.
