Battersea Power Station a likely venue for proposed new Chelsea ground

Chelsea are looking at an opportunity to build a new stadium at the site of the Battersea Power Station.

The Blues are looking to upgrade from their current Stamford Bridge venue, and although they still need to buy back the freehold of the Southwest London stadium, they are looking at possibilities just in case.

A Chelsea spokesman said: "In the past, we've talked to various people with interests in Battersea Power Station, but we haven't had any substantive discussions with anyone regarding that site for several months.

"However, in light of current developments, we now think it prudent to look again at the feasibility and potential for the BPS site to be developed for a football stadium.

"We have made no decision to leave Stamford Bridge, and we continue to discuss with the local council any economically viable options to expand the Bridge, but we will continue to investigate various options close to Stamford Bridge."
