<p>Chelsea remain <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-stadium-blow-todd-boehly-warning-over-gbp500m-plan-new-home-at-earl-court/bltcf1b0eaf1d69d809" target="_blank">locked in talks over whether to redevelop Stamford Bridge or move to a new location</a> as they bid to increase capacity for home matches. Indeed the Blues have already been told <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sadiq-khan-chelsea-stamford-bridge-too-small-mayor-london-blues-talks-new-stadium/blt45aadd8f2efe7306#cs23ab2379546036aa" target="_blank">Stamford Bridge is now "too small" for their needs by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan</a> as it holds only 40,341 seats.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Boehly is said to favour a move to a new site in Earl's Court and co-owner <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/earls-court-best-option-chelsea-co-owner-blues-stadium-plans-obstacles-stamford-bridge-too-small/blt06a60e39e29f37e6" target="_blank">Hansjorg Wys has also admitted "it would be the best option" for the Blues</a>. However, it's still not clear if the move will go ahead as there are a number of obstacles that need to be overcome before the Blues could proceed with a plan. Boehly has now been asked about stadium sizes and admits he wants a far greater capacity at Chelsea's home.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told the Qatar Economic Forum: "We recognise a club like Chelsea needs a 65,000 stadium. We also recognise that's going to be important to be able to compete long term. We'll figure it out."</p>

WHAT BOEHLY SAID

<p>Stamford Bridge is only the ninth biggest stadium in the Premier League when it comes to capacity. Manchester United, Tottenham, West Ham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa all have grounds that hold more fans than the Blues.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Chelsea fans must still wait and see what happens next regarding the club's stadium plans. In the meantime, the Blues will aim to finish the season on a high by winning the Conference League and securing a top-five finish in the Premier League which will bring Champions League football for next season. They will also participate at this summer's FIFA Club World Cup.</p>
