Todd Boehly has been pictured in the stands for Chelsea's clash with Wolves - their first game since his consortium signed an agreement for the £4.25bn takeover of the club.
Chelsea confirmed on their official website at 1.37am on Saturday morning that the American's consortium can purchase the club, following the UK Government's approval.
Boehly's consortium had previously been named as the preferred bidder to take over at Stamford Bridge by the Raine group, the American bank who are overseeing the sale.
He has partnered with fellow LA Dodgers owner Mark Walter, Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss as well as investment firm Clearlake Capital.
