Todd Boehly is prepared to heavily invest in the Chelsea team once his £4.25bn takeover of the London club has been ratified according to Daniel Finkelstein, who is set to join the new Chelsea Board.
Finkelstein, who is a member of the House of Lords, a Conservative peer and a Chelsea supporter, was quizzed on Boehly's impending takeover from the sanctioned Russian Roman Abramovich during an appearance on TalkTV.
'We're still at the early stages - he's had a sale agreement with Chelsea and now the government has got to license the sale because it's a sanctioned club and the Premier League has got to decide that I'm a fit director,' Finkelstein said.
