Todd Boehly's strong consortium are starting to try and assert their authority on this ongoing takeover race as they have been spotted having a tour of Chelsea's training facilities at Cobham, Surrey.
This development comes after the news broke earlier with Boehly's LA Dodgers partner Mark Walters has joined forces with the American billionaire in his bid to buy the club.
The race to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich is hotting up, with the deadline for second bids, originally scheduled for April 11, now moved back to allow the four remaining bidders time to finalise their offers. Boehly is joined in the final stage by separate consortia led by Steve Pagliuca and Sir Martin Broughton; as well as a bid from the Ricketts family.
