Chelsea have announced the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge will kickoff in 2023.

Just months after Todd Boehly's £4.25billion takeover, co-owner Jonathan Goldstein promised the Blues will go "fast and hard" with their "big project".

Goldstein blasted the UK as "uninvestable" under Prime Minister Liz Truss due to rising interest rates.

But he promised that fear would not hinder Chelsea's spending on their ground.

The British entrepreneur said: 'We are looking very heavily at redevelopment.

"The planning process is something which we will start during the course of the next year.

"We'll hope central government will get behind it and see it as an engine for growth.

'The only problem, of course, is the management of interest rates because it makes it so much more expensive to develop."

But Boehly's sidekick insisted the Blues would press ahead anyway.

Asked if they might put plans on hold, he replied: "No, no, we'll carry on as fast and as hard as we can."
