Gary Lineker gently mocks Todd Boehly with Chelsea vs Wolves verdict after Premier League draw

Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has added to Chelsea's misery with a cheeky tweet poking fun at Todd Boehly after the Blues' latest setback at the hands of Wolves in the Premier League.

It has been a frantic 24 hours for Boehly and his consortium after his takeover deal was confirmed by the club on gameday before all the drama unfolded on the Stamford Bridge pitch. The club statement read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club.

"Of the total investment being made, £2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich. UK Government approval will be required for the proceeds to be transferred from the frozen UK bank account.
