Sir Lewis Hamilton has been told to 'stay loyal' to Arsenal, amid plans to invest in Chelsea. The Formula One star has joined in with a surprise bid for Chelsea Football Club, according to Sky News.
Serena Williams is also making a bid for the Blues as part of Sir Martin Broughton’s consortium. Both are said to be pledging £10million towards investment for the club, joining the likes of Lord Sebastien Coe, the President of World Athletics, in the bid. It comes as the takeover appears to be drawing to a conclusion in the near future.
Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale last month, before sanctions were subsequently placed on him by the UK government after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The freezing of the 55-year-old’s assets means that Chelsea have had to operate under a special sporting licence, putting restrictions on things such as ticket sales, merchandising and more.
