NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell visited the site of Tottenham's new stadium on Monday as the future host of regular-season games continues to take shape.

The NFL has a 10-year deal to host International Series matches at the 61,000-seater stadium, which begins next season.

Daniel Levy, along with NFL executive vice-president Mark Waller and Spurs' executive director Donna-Maria Cullen, showed Goodell around the site, which will include facilities for both football and American football including dedicated entrances and dressing rooms.

"The new Tottenham Hotspur stadium is clearly going to be a world-class venue," Goodell. "We are very pleased with how closely we have been able to work with the Club, and are optimistic that the broader regeneration plan will make for an extraordinary experience for NFL fans."

Daniel Levy said: "It is always a pleasure to welcome the NFL to Tottenham and for them to see the vision that we share becoming a reality right in front of us.

"We have worked closely with them throughout this project and their involvement will play a significant part in helping us create one of the most compelling venues for sports and entertainment in the world, right here in Tottenham."

The NFL finished up its four London games on Sunday, with the Minnesota Vikings beating the Cleveland Browns 33-16 at Twickenham Stadium, home of England's national rugby team.

The first two games in London this season were played at Wembley Stadium, while the last two were at Twickenham.
