Todd Boehly 'gave assurances' to Premier League over Saudi involvement at Chelsea

The Premier League are said to be 'entirely satisfied' there is no conflict of interest amid rumours of Saudi involvement at Chelsea.

It has been claimed that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) had an investment in Clearlake Capital, the private equity firm that co-owns Chelsea. PIF already own an 80 percent in Chelsea's Premier League rivals Newcastle, sparking rumours of a conflict of interest.

Speculation has only grown following N'Golo Kante's move from Chelsea to Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad. Fellow Blues stars Hakim Ziyech, Kalidou Koulibaly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Edouard Mendy are also in talks over a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
