Chelsea captain César Azpilicueta has sent a message to to Todd Boehly as he admitted the team were 'disappointed' not to gift their soon-to-be new owner a first win.
Early on game day, the news that everyone expected came out officially from the club who announced that Todd Boehly had agreed upon a £4.25billion deal to purchase Chelsea, although the UK Government and Premier League must first give the green light to this transaction. The statement that was released around 1 AM read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club.
"Of the total investment being made, £2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich. UK Government approval will be required for the proceeds to be transferred from the frozen UK bank account.

This includes investments in Stamford Bridge, the Academy, the Women’s Team and Kingsmeadow and continued funding for the Chelsea Foundation. The sale is expected to complete in late May subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. More
