Outgoing Premier League champions Chelsea may well look to groundshare with West Ham at the Olympic Stadium as their own new ground is prepared, according to The Daily Mail.

Slaven Bilic’s men said an emotional farewell to the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday night with a memorable 3-2 win over Manchester United.

The Hammers will now boost their earning potential and appeal with a move to the Olympic Stadium next season, which will help the club in achieving their lofty ambitions.

Chelsea are also in the process of moving out of Stamford Bridge, with a switch to a bigger ground needed for the Blues to compete.

However, despite playing at Wembley for the interim period when their new home is being built, the latest report suggests that a groundshare with the Hammers could well be on the cards.

The Blues relocation is expected to take three years and as such West Ham could well have long-term co-tenants.
