Chelsea's new regime will consider adding a former player to the club's board after completing their highly-anticipated £4.25billion takeover on Monday.

The American-led consortium, spearheaded by businessman Todd Boehly and investment firm Clearlake Capital, was confirmed as the west London club's new owners on Monday.

The new-look Blues hierarchy is expected to be made up of Boehly and his business partner Mark Walter, Clearlake co-founder Behdad Eghbali and Swiss businessman Hansjorg Wyss.
