Chelsea's takeover is COMPLETE as the Roman Abramovich era finally comes to an end, with Todd Boehly's consortium in the hotseat at Stamford Bridge after anxious takeover saga

Chelsea are officially under new ownership after the completion of the Todd Boehly-led consortium's huge £4.25billion deal to buy the club.

Fans can finally exhale after months of uncertainty following Roman Abramovich's sanctioning by the UK government for his ties to Vladimir Putin amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Boehly and Clearlake Capital group were chosen as the preferred bidders among fierce competition and the 48-year-old American businessman will now be able to launch a new era at Stamford Bridge.

The takeover brings an ignominious end to Abramovich's tenure and the Russian published an emotional farewell note last week.
