Battersea a no-go for Chelsea

Chelsea’s hopes of moving to Battersea Power Station have been extinguished after a Malaysian consortium completed a £400 million (€501m) purchase of the London landmark.

The European champions are considering moving away from Stamford Bridge and had lodged a bid to move to the iconic 39-acre site on the south bank of the River Thames.

The west Londoners released plans in May that detailed how they hoped to turn the derelict site in to a 60,000-seater stadium incorporating the four famous chimneys.
