Former Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has described Roman Abramovich as a "class act" as the Blues owner prepares to sell the club.
Abramovich was in charge when Anelka moved to Stamford Bridge from Bolton Wanderers in 2008, but the Russian issued a statement this week confirming he is looking to sell up, nearly 20 years after taking over.
Reports suggest a sale could be clinched as early as next Monday, with an American-Swiss consortium showing an interest despite the outgoing owner's significant asking price for the London club.
