Todd Boehly expected to attend Chelsea vs Wolves after agreeing to buy the Blues
Todd Boehly is due to attend Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Wolves on Saturday afternoon, just a matter of hours after agreeing a deal to buy the Blues from Roman Abramovich.

The sale is not yet complete, with the statement predicting it to be finalised by the end of the month, with Premier League and government approval required.
