New York bank Raine had set a cut-off of 5pm New York time for bids for Chelsea amid frenzied interest in the sale of the Blues.

Roman Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale on March 2, amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Abramovich's UK assets are frozen by the UK Government but Downing Street has allowed Chelsea to continue operations under special licence.
