Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is close to kickstarting his multi-club project at Stamford Bridge by purchasing a stake in French side Strasbourg. Boehly and Clearlake Capital have been looking for suitable clubs to purchase since last summer as they aim to follow Manchester City's example of owning stakes in multiple clubs across the world.
The American has admitted to making a number of mistakes in his first full-season as the Blues' co-owner but is hoping to continue on with his long-term project. After spending £600million on new signings in the last 12 months, Boehly is expected to back incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino with further additions - whilst trimming down the club's bloated squad.
Chelsea will not feature in any European competition next term which could benefit Pochettino's rebuild at Stamford Bridge, allowing him more time on the training pitch with his players. Despite a number of plans being put in motion in west London, Boehly is continuing to look for other clubs to invest in and build a multi-club model.
