Who is Behdad Egbali? Todd Boehly's Chelsea right-hand man, net worth and Clearlake transfer move

A consortium taking over Chelsea is something new. From wealthy individuals to shady figures, state-backed groups to Oligarchs, owning a club is becoming more and more complex.

Chelsea's heirarchy is simple to understand by modern standards but still has more than one strand to it. Whereas previously Roman Abramovich was the sole owner, investing huge sums of personal wealth through Fortstrum Ltd, there is now a group of people that own the Blues.

Todd Boehly is the most public of them. He is the man spoken about as if he had taken over from Abramovich directly. The semantics usually revolve around him, his decisions and him alone. If something goes wrong, call Boehly. If a transfer is made then it's him that will get the blame or praise for it.
