US tycoon Todd Boehly is set to get Premier League approval for his Chelsea takeover - despite an ongoing Government row.
LA Dodgers part owner Boehly is currently undergoing the Prem’s Owners and Directors’ Test which is expected to be passed within the next few days. Boehly has agreed a £4.25billion takeover deal - which includes a £1.75bn pledge for investment into the club - to buy out Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
The Government has forced Abramovich to sell after imposing sanctions on the Russian oligarch but are determined to ensure that he does not benefit from any of the sale proceeds. There is a huge issue over a £1.5bn outstanding loan and also Abramovich making it clear that he wants proceeds to go to a humanitarian charity, including victims for the war in Ukraine.
