Chelsea Consider Making Four Year Offer That Could Seriously Affect West Ham

Chelsea Consider Making Four Year Offer That Could Seriously Affect West Ham

Chelsea are weighing up whether to approach the owners of the London Stadium with a proposal of a four-year ground share with West Ham, according to reports in the UK.

The Blues are expected to demolish Stamford Bridge, with a new £2billion stadium being put in its place, but they will have to play somewhere else during the intervening period.

Four other grounds have been considered, including Wembley, Twickenham, Reading’s Select Car Leasing Stadium and Fulham’s Craven Cottage.

However, the London Stadium is seen as one of the more realistic options, with Chelsea needing to make contact with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) to get the ball rolling.



As West Ham are technically tenants, it’s not known how much of a say they would get in discussions regarding a potential ground share. LLDC have regularly criticised the deal that led to the Hammers taking up residence at the stadium so there is a good chance they would be amenable to Chelsea’s proposal.
