Wembley could host the Euro 2020 final as part of a radical plan to host the tournament across 12 different countries.

The ambitious blueprint is the idea of UEFA president Michel Platini and will be put to delegates in December ahead of a vote in January or February.

UEFA hope to create a ‘Finals Week’ with the semis and final played in one city.

And according to the Sunday Mirror, London is among the major contenders to land the honour.

Turkey had been favourite to host the event in 2020, but their bid has hit difficulties due to a desire to host the Olympic Games in Istanbul in the same year.

Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland have also formally declared an interest in hosting Euro 2020.

Earlier this summer, Platini said: ‘This matter will be discussed very seriously. We will have a great debate about 2020 and discuss the pros and cons.

‘It’s an idea I feel really passionate about, it will be a lot easier from a financial perspective.

‘We are not going to wait until we know whether Turkey are going to get the Olympics.

‘It creates a problem for us. We do have other candidates. Everyone has the possibility to host it.

‘It is easier to go from London to Paris or Berlin than Cardiff to Gdansk. It would be four games per venue. It is a great debate.’
