Chelsea £4.25bn sale to Boehly consortium completed

The club was put up for sale in March before previous owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned over his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Several parties expressed an interest, but Chelsea agreed to sell to the Boehly-led consortium earlier in May, with Californian private equity firm Clearlake Capital owning a majority of the shares as it makes its first foray into sport.

He has also invested in Bruce Springsteen's song rights, a sports betting firm and restaurant chains. Chelsea's women's team, who became affiliated to Chelsea FC in 2004, have won five Women's Super League titles and four FA Cups under Abramovich.
