Chelsea: The billionaire bidders scrambling to buy Stamford Bridge club

It's almost deadline day for any parties interested in buying Chelsea Football Club.

Those intent on making offers for the club must submit their bids by Friday's cut-off and there has been no shortage of interest.

Roman Abramovich's attempt to sell the club has been stopped after he was sanctioned by the UK government because of his close ties with the Russian president Vladimir Putin, in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.

The deadline for prospective bidders for Chelsea to submit their proposals is fast approaching
Interest in buying the reigning European champions has understandably been sky-high

The proposals should be made to New York-based merchant bank Raine Group, who are overseeing the sale, the Premier League and the UK government.
