Cesc Fabregas has advised Todd Boehly to "try to recreate" what Roman Abramovich did at Chelsea as the club embarks on a new chapter. Boehly's consortium are expected to complete the takeover of the Blues by the end of this month.
It was announced in March that Abramovich had put Chelsea up for sale and just days later, the UK Government froze the Russian's assets. This somewhat complicated the sale of the club, but it was recently confirmed in a statement from Chelsea that Boehly's consortium had agreed a deal for the takeover.
The statement read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club. Of the total investment being made, £2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich."
