Chelsea are 'expected to be handed a HUGE unpaid tax bill after inspectors uncover full liabilities left from Roman Abramovich's ownership', after the club received funding via a number of parent companies

Chelsea are expected to be dealt a huge unpaid tax bill next month after investigators revealed the full liabilities left from Roman Abramovich's ownership, according to the Telegraph.

It's been revealed that during the Russian's tenure in charge, club executives were forced to disclose unforeseen liabilities initially worth a total of £2.5 billion.

During Abramovich's reign, the Blues received funding via a complex series of parent companies in which tax liabilities had become increasingly difficult to unravel.

However HMRC and the club have been in contact in the past month and inspectors are now ready to issue a final bill.
