Todd Boehly has moved to bolster his consortium's bid for the ownership of Chelsea by adding billionaire LA Dodgers partner Mark Walters to the bid.
The race to buy Chelsea from sanctioned owner Roman Abramovich is hotting up with the deadline for second bids, originally scheduled for April 11, now moved back to allow the four remaining bidders time to finalise their offers. Todd Boehly is joined in the final stage by consortiums led by Steve Pagliuca and Sir Martin Broughton as well as a bid from the controversial Ricketts family.
Boehly was one of the first names to emerge in the race after Abramovich put the club on the market, initially joining forces with Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss. It now appears he has added extra firepower as each party looks to steal a march on their opponents.
