A Swiss-American consortium led by billionaires Hansjorg Wyss and Todd Boehly have submitted an offer to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.
The Russian billionaire officially put the club up for sale last week and will be looking to move the club on sooner rather than later as the threat of sanctions from the UK government continue to hang over him following Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Abramovich has vehemently denied having any links, past or present, with the Russian president and said he has nothing to deserve sanctioning but he is pushing ahead with his decision to sell the club he has owned for nearly 19 years.
