Arsenal legend Ian Wright has sent an indirect message to potential Chelsea takeover candidates, including the Saudi Media group, stating that any new owner must have their intentions to own a football club questioned before a potential deal goes through.
Friday has been set as a deadline for bids to be made to buy the club after Roman Abramovich was disqualified as an owner following the UK government's decision to sanction him last week. Property developer Nick Candy and a consortium led by the American billionaire Todd Boehly are the front runners but Saudi Media's interest is clear.
Mohamed Al-Khereiji, the leader of the consortium, claims to have big plans for the club if his bid is successful and he has been to Stamford Bridge in the past. GOAL have reported that "meetings continued today about the Saudi Media bid, and it has been independently verified by a UK government source."
