Chelsea right-back Reece James has delivered his thoughts on the imminent sale of the club with Todd Boehly's consortium set to takeover when Roman Abramovich's 19-year reign comes to an end. The American billionaire had his offer accepted earlier this month and final government approval is set to be given soon.
Boehly was in attendance at Stamford Bridge again on Saturday as Thomas Tuchel's side beat Watford 2-1. Kai Havertz and Ross Barkley scored the goals for the Blues as they finished the campaign in third place, giving Boehly and co. a Champions League spot to start their tenure.
According to Sky Sports News, the UK government are set to approve the takeover within the next 24 hours with concerns surrounding debts owed to Abramovich finally allayed. The Russian is under sanction from the government meaning no money from the deal can go to him but legal guarantees have now been given that not even a penny will go to him.
