Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has shock Stamford Bridge alternative to make £2bn dream a reality

Todd Boehly could have a surprise new way to ensure that Chelsea's desired stadium progress happens sooner rather than later. Stamford Bridge in its current state can house over 40,000 fans per match but still pales in comparison to newer, modern grounds in the Premier League.

It has been a long-term bugbear for the club with rivals Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Brentford among the teams to have moved to a new ground in the past 20 years. Meanwhile there have been expansions at Anfield and also at the Etihad Stadium again.

Such is the location of Stamford Bridge there is no simple answer though, with a tube station in close proximity and little land to build on. Relocation is also off the cards due to the power held by the Chelsea Pitch Owners (CPO).
