English Premier League soccer club Tottenham Hotspur has raised 12.2 million dollars (5 million pounds) in a share placing to help fund the building of a new stadium.
The London club, which tops the Premier League after two wins in its first two games, says it needs the cash to help submit a planning proposal for the stadium later this year.
Tottenham shares closed up 5 percent at 86 pence, sharply above a 30 pence price for the new shares.
