BLUE DIRECTION Incoming Chelsea owner Boehly will have plenty to sort out when he arrives at Stamford Bridge with Blues in turmoil

TODD BOEHLY was a wrestler as a schoolboy.

And he is now set to grapple with a way to keep Chelsea at the dizzy heights they gained in the Roman Abramovich era.

Despite an 11th-hour bid by one of Britain’s richest men, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, it seems that Boehly’s second offer to take over Chelsea has been selected as the winning offer.

While Abramovich’s chosen deal broker, the US-based Raine Group, has offered a public silence almost throughout the two-month process, the Wall Street Journal revealed Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Boehly was the “preferred bidder”.

It means Boehly and his backers, which include Switzerland’s richest man Hansjorg Wyss, have now entered into “exclusive talks” about completing a takeover.

Quite what the ultimate outcome will be for the Blues is less clear, although Boehly has already enlisted the support of former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne.
