Chelsea have announced an agreement has been reached to complete the purchase of the Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions site, adjacent to Stamford Bridge.

Buying the 1.9-acre site, which includes a charity's housing and community facilities for vulnerable veterans who have left the armed forces, will provide the club more options over decisions around potential redevelopment of the stadium.
