Todd Boehly is reportedly already working on plans to redevelop Stamford Bridge in an effort to win support in the race to buy Chelsea.
Boehly is the leader of one of the four bidders who have been shortlisted to take over the club from Roman Abramovich. The American billionaire, who is a co-owner of the LA Dodgers and LA Lakers, is determined to beat the competition for the European champions.
He is up against Chicago Cubs owners the Ricketts family, former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton, who has financial backing from Crystal Palace co-owners David Blitzer and Josh Harris and the sports expertise of Sebastian Coe, and Boston Celtics owner Stephen Pagliuca . The four bids have been given until April 11 to submit their final detailed plans, with Chelsea then set to present ministers and the Premier League with their preferred bid a week later.
