Chelsea have won a battle to buy a significant portion of land next door to Stamford Bridge in a deal worth around £80m live
The move opens up the possibility of the club staying at their west London ground – Chelsea’s home since 1905 – and redeveloping the current 40,000-seater stadium, rather than finding a new site, as the owners seek to deliver a major upgrade which competes with leading Premier League venues live
The club will buy 2 live
4 acres of the site, which sits live between the stadium’s West Stand and Fulham Broadway Tube station, from Stoll, a charity which provides housing for veterans live
Stoll’s board of trustees consulted with residents of the building, Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions, before making the decision to accept Chelsea’s bid from among a dozen on the table live
Chelsea approached Stoll six years ago while under the ownership of Roman Abramovich as they drew up plans for a new stadium live
Those plans fell through when Abramovic was forced to sell the club over his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year, and Stoll put the land up for sale as it sought much-needed funding live
New owner Todd Boehly and the Clearlake consortium resurrected Chelsea’s interest this year and the purchase has now been approved, paving the way for a potential expansion of Stamford Bridge which could see the stadium demolished and rebuilt with the pitch rotated 90 degrees to run west to east live
The club had originally proposed to buy only a small part of the land (marked in red, below) but negotiated a larger share (blue) live

If they do stay at Stamford Bridge, the club would need to either groundshare with neighbours Fulham at Craven Cottage, or move into Wembley or Twickenham while the work was undertaken live
Stoll will retain a portion of the land at the southern end where it will retain 20 flats, and a leaseback deal will ensure residents do not have to move out immediately live
The charity says it will invest the funds in new housing for veterans live

George Russell said he has has banned himself from using social media and reading the news because it does not bring him any positivity live
The Mercedes driver has a combined following of nearly seven million on X and Instagram live
But Russell, 25, who was involved in a first-corner collision with team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the last round in Qatar, says he has stepped back from using the platforms live
Speaking to the PA news agency, Russell said: “I stopped using Twitter (‘X’) about six months ago live
“I work with a social team and everything that is posted is in my own words and is signed off through me live
I want to stay connected with the fans live
But I don’t use the app and I have started to do the same with Instagram live
“I respect that everyone has an opinion live
But I don’t need to read the praise because that doesn’t bring me anything, and I don’t need to see the negative comments because that doesn’t bring me anything either live
“But when I stopped using Twitter (‘X’), whenever I was on my phone I was on Instagram, and when I stopped using Instagram, I thought I needed to look at something so I started to read the news live
But every headline was negative live
“Other than being informed about what is going on in the world, reading negative headlines one after another didn’t bring anything to me, so now I am totally off social media live
”Russell heads into the final five rounds of the campaign eighth in the standings, 62 points and five places adrift of Hamilton live
“It all stemmed after the the summer break when I didn’t use my phone at all,” added Russell, who will line up from fifth on the grid for his 100th race in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin live
“During that period when I had my family and friends around me I had an average screen time of 15 minutes live
In a normal week I have an average screen time of three hours live
“I saw a post that said ‘if you use your phone on average for four hours a day, by the time you die you will have spent 15 years looking at your phone’ live
“And when I read that, I was like, ‘Jesus I could spend 15 years of my life on my phone live
’ I can do something wiser than scrolling through Instagram memes live
