- Tottenham Hotspur shared picture from top of construction site of new stadium at sunrise in North London
- Currently a building site, the 61,559-seater arena is set to be completed on White Hart Lane for next season
- Spurs are playing their home matches at Wembley this season while their new home is constructed
When they move back to White Hart Lane next season and into their enormous new stadium on the site of their former home, Tottenham Hotspur will hope it heralds a new dawn for the club.
For now, Spurs fans will have to make do with a remarkable new picture taken from the top of the building site which, come the 2018-19 season, will be their 61,559-seater stadium.
The spectacular image, shared via the club Twitter account on Tuesday morning, shows the sun rising over North London and shining on the half-finished stands.

The curved top tier of seats - reminiscent of those in the ground of neighbours and bitter rivals, Arsenal - are now clearly visible at one end of where the pitch will eventually be.
However the stands at the other end are not yet built, with bare scaffolding in its place, while the pitch, for now, is dirt, covered in containers, cranes and construction vehicles.
After 118 years at the old White Hart Lane, Spurs said goodbye to the old 35,000-seat stadium at the end of last season, beating Manchester United in their final home game.

For this season, they play their home games more than 10 miles away at Wembley while they wait for their new ground to be finished.
Tottenham fans will hope the new ground is finished as quickly as possible, as the team struggles to make the national stadium feel like home.
Spurs' only domestic home victory so far this campaign has come in the Carabao Cup against Championship side Barnsley, with the team failing to win any of their three Premier League matches at Wembley thus far.
After losing to rivals Chelsea, Tottenham have played out disappointing draws against Burnley and Swansea City which have caused them to lose touch somewhat with league leaders Manchester City.
