Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy apparently made a cheeky little dig at Arsenal while discussing the inspiration behind the club's new stadium.

Levy has big plans for Spurs and passionately spoke to NBC Men In Blazers' host Roger Bennett about the new ground he hopes will be "exceptional".

It's all very interesting as Levy goes into detail about which American stadiums caught his eye when architects drew up the plans for Spurs' new home.

But it's one line in particular that is bound to bring a smirk to your face... unless you're a Gunners fan of course.

Speaking in the above video, the Tottenham chairman says: "The first challenge we gave our architects was 'how can we try and retain the atmosphere that currently exists in our stadium here, because it is a very tight bowl?'

"So we are in fact five metres closer to the pitch than a comparable stadium in north London..."

After his cheeky comment, which apparently goes completely unnoticed, Levy continues to discuss the stadium and says he hopes it will have a stand comparable to Dortmund's Yellow Wall.

"We are the only stadium in the UK that will have 17,000 seats in the single stand," explained the Spurs chairman.

And we have to admit, that does sound pretty impressive.
