Chelsea's first black player Paul Canoville 'UNIMPRESSED' by Hamilton and Williams plans

Chelsea's first black player Paul Canoville insists he has not been left impressed by Sir Martin Broughton's plans for celebrities including Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams to head up the club's anti-racism campaigns.

The sporting superstars each pledged about £10million to the £2.5billion bid fronted by Broughton to buy the west London outfit following the sanctioning of Roman Abramovich by the UK Government.

While Hamilton's involvement is primarily a business matter, he also wants to push 'diversity and inclusion' in the sport, which would appear to correspond with Canoville's desire 'to see more done' by the Blues 'around equality and commitment to anti-racism'.
