As reported by The Times, the renowned London club is exploring the possibility of revamping and enlarging its current stadium, which can already accommodate 60,000 spectators.

Arsenal are discussing expanding the capacity of Emirates stadium.AdvertisementAdvertisement

The Gunners' home ground became the largest stadium in London when it opened in 2006, after they left the legendary Highbury. But since then West Ham's London Stadium has stolen the show with its 68,000 seats.

At a time when all the big clubs are renovating their stadiums or building new ones (Camp Nou - Barça, Santiago Bernabéu - Real, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Tottenham…), Arsenal does not want to be left behind and intends to follow suit.

This expansion of the Emirates Stadium would allow the Gunners to boost their revenue on match days. Although no real project exists at the moment, the idea is running through the heads of the owners of the London club.
