New Chelsea owners plan major Stamford Bridge renovation as Todd Boehly completes £168m spree

Stamford Bridge is set to undergo major renovations following Chelsea's spritely summer transfer window, according to reports. The Blues' new owners have welcomed five new players to west London, backing Thomas Tuchel with £168million-worth of star-studded talent.

According to The Telegraph, the Todd Boehly-Clearlake consortium will invest in upgrades to Stamford Bridge which include renovation of the West Stand and new murals around the ground. The LA Dodgers' co-owner has undergone a similar strategy before with a number of his sport franchises.

The report states that Boehly has appointed executive Janet Marie Smith to lead the project. The architect has led, built and managed a number stadium renovations in the United States, one of which was the Dodger Stadium owned by Chelsea's new chairman and interim sporting director who invested around £200million in renovations.
