During Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the United States this past summer, Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling, Edouard Mendy, Malang Sarr, Marcus Bettinelli and Jorginho took to the field at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles - home to owner Todd Boehly’s Major League Baseball team - alongside their new boss.
The setting is impressive - looking out onto the Chavez Ravine - and not least because Boehly’s ownership group has done plenty to improve the historic stadium and its grounds in the last decade. Similar plans could be about to feature in Chelsea’s future too.
There are plenty of reasons for Chelsea fans to be excited about Boehly and Clearlake Capital’s £4.15billion takeover - not least what might be in store for their Stamford Bridge home. The problem for Chelsea has historically been a lack of space.
