Finally, Chelsea's ownership saga is drawing to a close, with Todd Boehly's consortium now on the final stretch of completing the takeover. On Wednesday morning, the UK Government confirmed they had issued a licence to allow the sale to go through.
The Blues are about to embark on a new chapter of their 117-year-long existence. Boehly is set to back Thomas Tuchel in the summer transfer window as the German head coach looks to try and close the gap to the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool.
To do that, there needs to be major surgery within the Chelsea squad over the next few months. The likes of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger will leave the club on free transfers, meaning the Blues will need to look elsewhere to replace the two first-team defenders.
