Donald Trump 's trusted friend, Woody Johnson, is set to launch a £2billion bid to buy Chelsea at the eleventh hour.
The Blues are open to takeover offers until close of play on Friday and Johnson has become the latest investor interested purchasing the club from Roman Abramovich, who was recently sanctioned by the UK Government after his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin came to light amid the invasion of Ukraine.
It has reported by The Sun that Johnson, Trump's US Ambassador to the UK until last year, is hoping to pip current favourites, Saudi Media Group, before Friday's deadline. While his bid is considerably less than the £2.7bn offer from the Middle East, the 74-year-old is confident that he can win the race thanks to his extensive London links.
