Chelsea completes sale

Chelsea’s £4.25bn sale to a consortium led by American investor Todd Boehly has been completed.
The consortium fought off 11 serious rivals to become the new owners, in a sale process that started on 2 March and comprised more than 250 enquiries.
The club was put up for sale in March before previous owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned over his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Chelsea had been operating under a special government license which would have expired on 31 May.
