The takeover of Chelsea Football Club looks to be nearing its conclusion now, finally. Following Roman Abramovich's decision to sell the club, there has been a mass search for someone to replace the Russian billionaire.
A consortium led by billionaire Todd Boehly had an offer accepted to buy the club from Abramovich, ending the Russian's 19-year spell as owner. He leaves amid a cloud of sanctions imposed on him by the UK government due to alleged links to Vladimir Putin, something Abramovich has always denied.
Following the Blues' statement earlier in the month confirming a deal had been struck between the American consortium and the club, there has still been some doubt. However, it's believed that the takeover is now as close as it has ever been to finally being completed.
