Ghanaian gold mine owner Bernard Antwi Boasiako has entered the race to buy Chelsea, with a spokesperson for the businessman confirming his interest.
Chelsea have been put up for sale by Roman Abramovich, who has owned the club since 2003. Since the Russian's statement detailing his own intentions, he has been added to the UK government's list of sanctioned individuals and disqualified as a director of the London club.
A number of potential buyers have emerged, with the club valued by Abramovich at £3bn. Saudi Media Group have reportedly lodged a £2.7bn bid for the Blues, who are operating under a special licence following the sanctions against their owner, but Bosiako is also now considered in the running for the club.
