Next Chelsea owner: Who is Robert 'Woody' Johnson? The New York Jets chief 'readying' offer

New York Jets owner Robert "Woody" Johnson is said to be 'readying a bid' for Chelsea Football Club with Roman Abramovich looking for a buyer.

According to a report on Monday evening from ESPN, Johnson has already spoken to Raine Group, the organisation in charge of the bidding process as he looks to purchase the European champions.

Abramovich confirmed he is looking to sell Chelsea last week in a statement on the club's website, with several interested parties already being mentioned. The Russian billionaire has put a £3billion price-tag on the west London club as he ends his 19-year affiliation at Stamford Bridge.
