Former Chelsea captain John Terry heaped praise on Roman Abramovich as he responded to the news that the Chelsea owner would be selling the club following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Abramovich confirmed the reports on Chelsea's website and social media channels on Wednesday with a statement.
The Russian billionaire accepted that he could no longer continue in his capacity as owner due to the 'current situation'.
He also said he would be writing off the £1.5bn debt he is owed and that all money generated from his sale of the club will go to a foundation benefiting 'all victims of the war in Ukraine'.
