Chelsea bidder Stephen Pagliuca breaks silence with statement on "exciting vision"

Stephen Pagliuca has finally broken his silence to set out his blueprint for Chelsea if he is successful in his takeover of the Premier League club.

The 67-year-old is one of the four remaining bidders aiming to purchase Chelsea, and has promised to revamp Stamford Bridge - insisting Chelsea's "world-class fans" deserve a "world-class stadium" - and has vowed to "preserve the legacy and traditions of the club".

Pagliuca is the co-owner of NBA basketball team Boston Celtics and also purchased a 55 per cent stake in Serie A outfit Atalanta just two months ago. It's believed he would need to sell his share in the Italian club if he's named as the preferred bidder by the Raine Group, the New York merchant bank overseeing the sale.
