Ghanaian businessman Bernard Antwi Boasiako had pledged to bring stability back to Chelsea after confirming to Sportsmail that he is interested in bidding for the club.
Claims emerged last week that the gold mine owner was exploring an offer to buy the crisis-stricken Stamford Bridge club, with a spokesman for the African businessman now confirming his interest.
A spokesman for Boasiako told Sportsmail: 'Bernard Antwi Boasiako is exploring a potential offer for Chelsea. Discussions with various parties involved in the sale have taken place.
'Chelsea has a lasting legacy in Africa, players like Didier Drogba and Michael Essien are legends of the club; the opportunity to enhance the club's reputation in Africa is a very tempting prospect.
