What Todd Boehly did after Chelsea vs Watford which hints at takeover completion

Potential new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly was seen on the pitch talking to Chelsea players after their penultimate Premier League game on Sunday. Chelsea defeated Watford after a late Ross Barkley goal secured the points to end what has been a rollercoaster season for Thomas Tuchel's side.

After the game, Boehly was seen speaking to Cesar Azpilicueta and a number of Chelsea players - which could suggest the takeover could be completed soon. The group led by Boehly and Clearlake Capital could be confirmed as new Chelsea owners as early as next week ahead of a £4billion takeover of the Blues.

Sky News report that discussions are underway over clauses that would see the new owners of Chelsea unable to profit by paying dividends or management fees for a decade.
