Michael Gove offers hope to Wembley hosting the Champions League final between Manchester City and Chelsea, as the UK Government minister admits 'there are delicate negotiations going on at the moment'

Cabinet minister Michael Gove has revealed that 'delicate negotiations' are currently taking place over moving the Champions League final after Turkey, the host for the fixture, was placed on the Government's 'red list'.

Manchester City and Chelsea will face each other in the all-English showpiece on May 29, but the clash in Istanbul is currently mired in uncertainty with supporters of the two clubs now unable to attend.

The situation may see the game held elsewhere with hope building that Wembley will be able to step in - and the credentials for the national stadium appear to have taken a boost with talks underway.
