Chelsea look set to be the subject of two separate bids from either side of the Atlantic in the coming days, with two billionaires ready to go head-to-head to be the club's new owner.
The West London outfit are on the market after current owner Roman Abramovich announced in a lengthy statement he is planning to sell the club.
Abramovich has owned the club and been a regular fixture at Stamford Bridge for the best part of 19 years, but intense scrutiny over his relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin has made his position as Chelsea owner untenable.
