Hansjorg Wyss has emerged as a surprise contender to complete a takeover of Chelsea after his recent claims.
The Swiss billionaire has suggested that he has been offered the chance to purchase the west London club by Roman Abramovich following the Russian’s decision to step back from the day-to-day operations at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking with Blick, the 86-year-old said: "[Abramovich] wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly. I and three other people received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich.
