It's difficult to remember a summer transfer window that felt so enormous for Chelsea Football Club. Todd Boehly's consortium are expected to be announced officially as the club's new ownership group in the near future, following the Premier League's decision to approve the takeover.
In a statement released this evening (Tuesday), the Premier League confirmed their owners’ and directors’ test had been carried out and that the next step was for the club to work with the relevant governments in order to secure the licences needed to complete the takeover.
The statement read: "The Premier League board has today approved the proposed takeover of Chelsea Football Club by the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Consortium. The purchase remains subject to the Government issuing the required sale licence and the satisfactory completion of the final stages of the transaction.
