Soon-to-be Chelsea owner Todd Boehly 'wants to offer new deals to Reece James and Mason Mount' to ensure the key stars stay at Stamford Bridge amid interest - with new chief already scrutinising the first team

Chelsea's soon-to-be new owners want to offer new contracts to Reece James and Mason Mount, according to reports, as they prepare to take charge of the club.

It was confirmed in the early hours of today that Todd Boehly has been given the green light to complete his £4.25billion takeover, after his consortium were named as the preferred bidder by the Raine Group, the bank overseeing the sale.

Boehly saw off competition from groups led by Stephen Pagluica and Sir Martin Broughton, as well as an £4.2bn offer from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Britain's richest man.
