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

New Zealand head coach Ian Foster says he’ll watch the second semi-final at the Rugby World Cup with popcorn in hand as he waits to find out who they will face in next Saturday’s final live

The All Blacks thumped Argentina 44-6 at the Stade de France in the first semi-final on Friday evening as the best quarter-final weekend in the tournament’s history was followed by a damp squib to open up the last four live

The second semi-final in Paris on Saturday evening should be a closer affair as England face South Africa, although the Springboks are heavy favourites to repeat their victory from the 2019 World Cup final live

The winners will take on New Zealand in the showpiece next weekend and Foster is adamant he has no preference as to who his side face, although he is looking forward to watching the clash and is also eager to use the additional day’s rest the All Blacks will have ahead of that encounter to his advantage live

“I’ll be watching it [England vs South Africa], probably have some popcorn,” said Foster in his post-match press conference live

“I don’t care who wins live

We’re very much in a focus on ourselves stage live

“What the extra day [of preparation] does give us is a chance to have a break mentally and not spend too much juice worrying about who it is that we’ll play next week live

“They’re both good teams live

South Africa are playing some brilliant rugby but we’ve also seen the English team build away quietly live

They’re starting to get really good at how they want to play live

It should be an interesting contrast of styles live

”Foster has endured some tough times during this World Cup cycle with the normally dominant All Blacks struggling at times and his job security being called into question live

Ian Foster has helped guide New Zealand to the World Cup final (REUTERS)The fact they have reached a record fifth World Cup final, and the team appear to be having fun, could be seen as vindication for the head coach but he was keen to dismiss any notion of a personal revenge mission live

“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team,” explained Foster live

“Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first live

Right now we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well live

“You have to enioy your work live

It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to live

The team takes a lot of pride when they do that live

“The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them live

As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it live

There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time live

“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it live

But you know, one more week live
