CHELSEA have received a major breakthrough in their plans to redevelop Stadium Bridge.
We revealed previously that the Blues have committed to a massive redevelopment of their current home – ending fears the club will relocate to a new stadium.
American owner Todd Boehly, who bought the Premier League outfit last year for £4.25billion, made promises to the stadium freeholder to expand the ground rather than move the club to a new location.
Now journalist Jacob Steinberg has tweeted an update on the situation – and it is good news for the redevelopment as they are on the verge of securing land next to their stadium in order to push ahead with their plans.
He wrote: “Development in Chelsea’s hopes of redeveloping Stamford Bridge – the Board of Trustees for Stoll, the leading provider of supported housing for veterans, has agreed in principle to sell the majority of its Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions site in Fulham to the Chelsea FC ownership group.
