Sterling, Koulibaly, Cucurella, De Jong: Todd Boehly's Chelsea transfer strategy explained

As a former college wrestler, Todd Boehly has had plenty to grapple with since becoming Chelsea's co-owner in May.

Having first taken an interest in buying a Premier League club in 2014 - at the time it was Tottenham - he probably didn't expect the circumstances in which it finally happened earlier this summer.

But when the dominoes started to fall after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Roman Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale before he was sanctioned, it was a golden opportunity for the American billionaire even if it has seemingly provided him with a steep learning curve.
