\u00a0<\/p>\n

A fresh insight into the ongoing efforts of Todd Boehly to complete his takeover of Chelsea Football Club has been provided on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The subject of the situation in the boardroom at Stamford Bridge has of course taken its place centre stage in the headlines for some time now.<\/p>\n

This comes after Roman Abramovich was left with no choice but to seek out the sale of his beloved Blues, after being sanctioned by the UK government on the back of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Widespread speculation, in turn, followed, before a clear front-runner ultimately emerged in the form of the aforementioned Boehly.<\/p>\n

The American businessman is understood<\/a> to have put pen to paper on a purchase agreement on May 7th, after which it was assumed by most that an official announcement would quickly follow.<\/p>\n

And yet, to this point, no such confirmation of Boehly replacing Abramovich as Chelsea\u2019s owner has been forthcoming.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If the latest word stemming from the media on Monday evening is anything to go by, though, then those of a Blues persuasion fearful of an unforeseen hitch in the deal need not fret.<\/p>\n

As per a report from the reliable Matt Law of The Daily Telegraph, the \u2018expectation\u2019 remains that the changing of hands at Stamford Bridge will ultimately be completed before the May 31st deadline rolls round.<\/p>\n

Though \u2018a couple of hurdles\u2019 have surfaced, confidence remains on both sides of the equation that the official takeover of Chelsea is imminent.<\/p>\n

Expecation is that the Boehly-led takeover of Chelsea will be completed before the May 31 deadline. Still a couple of hurdles to overcome but optisim on both sides. It\u2019s getting closer. #cfc<\/a><\/p>\n
