Chelsea's owners are ready to stay at Stamford Bridge.

The Sun says Chelsea will seek to expand Stamford Bridge rather than build a new stadium if co-owner Behdad Eghbali gets his way.

Eghbali favours staying and expanding the ground's seating capacity from 40,000 to 55,000 with an expected cost of £1.5bn.

Fellow co-owner Todd Boehly, however, wants to leave Stamford Bridge and build a new stadium at Earl's Court.

It's been suggested Boehly's plan would take over five years and is now appearing the less likely prospect.
