White Hart Lane station is reportedly set to be renamed after Tottenham Hotspur FC.
The London Overground station is next to Tottenham’s new stadium, which is set to officially open next month.
Transport for London (TfL) is said to be "in discussions” with the club over the station rebrand.
But a Guardian report suggested the deal – which would see the station renamed “Tottenham Hotspur” – is close to being rubberstamped, with a memo of understanding between the club and TfL reportedly being drafted.
A spokeswoman for mayor of London Sadiq Khan backed the plan, saying the “unique brand partnership” would benefit all parties.
She said money paid by Tottenham as part of the deal would contribute to the “regeneration of the area” with the building of sporting amenities.
It’s not known how much the club would have to pay for the rebrand, which was first mooted in 2016. However, TfL has disputed figures of £11.7 million which have been reported.
Renaming White Hart Lane station would mean Tottenham joining north London rivals Arsenal in having its local station named after it.
Mr Khan's spokeswoman said in a statement on Sunday evening: “The mayor [Sadiq Khan] does not support setting a precedent of selling off station names.
“However, a unique brand partnership between TfL and Tottenham Hotspur would benefit both TfL and Tottenham, supporting significant investment to create a new sport, leisure and entertainment destination as part of the wider regeneration of the area.
“TfL is still in discussions about this opportunity.”
A TfL press officer said: “TfL has substantial experience in delivering successful commercial partnerships for the benefit of its customers and London in general.
“Opportunities of this nature are always thoroughly evaluated before completion to ensure that TfL delivers best value for its stakeholders.”
Tottenham declined the Standard’s request for comment.
