The Daily Mail are reporting that the Blues are going to erect two giant lion sculptures outside Stamford Bridge.

As well as improving the team on the pitch, the owners are looking to bring new ideas to the stadium and its surrounding area.

An application has been submitted to Hammersmith & Fulham Council for permission to have one of the eight feet tall sculptures at the Britannia Gate, with the other at the Stamford Gate.

The cost of the proposal is unknown but it appears that Todd Boehly has certainly got a habit for needlessly splashing the cash.

How much have Chelsea spent on transfers under Todd Boehly?

Chelsea have spent €1.075 billion on permanent transfers since Todd Boehly became owner in 2022, and that total rises even higher when including Joao Felix’s €11m loan fee in January 2023.

The Blues spent €612.5m on permanent transfers in Boehly’s first season in charge, with Enzo Fernandez, Wesley Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk and Marc Cucurella all arriving for over €60m.

Meanwhile, €464.1m was spent on players this summer, including Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Cole Palmer, Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson.
