Tottenham not in talks with Uber over stadium naming rights
Squawka claimed yesterday that Tottenham have held talks with taxi app Uber looking to secure a long-term £20million-a-year deal for their new stadium.
The report featured an image of a model of the 61,000-seater venue, which is due to open for the 2018/19 campaign, with Uber's logo plastered on the roof.

But City A.M. claim that the north London club are not in negotiations over a potential sponsorship deal after Uber declined their approach.
Tottenham are keen to find financial backing to help with the £400million development of their new stadium - similar to that of Arsenal and Manchester City.
Arsenal signed £150m deal with Fly Emirates for shirt and stadium rights
Manchester City receive £400m from Etihad for shirt and stadium rights until 2021
Arsenal struck a £150m deal with Fly Emirates for their shirt and stadium sponsorship until 2019, while City signed a combined deal with Etihad in 2011 for 10 years worth £400m.
Spurs are also in the market for a new kit supplier, with their current £10m-a-year contract with Under Armour expiring at the end of the season - Nike have been linked with a £25m-a-year deal.
