The consortium led by Todd Boehly is reportedly regarded as the frontrunner to buy Premier League club Chelsea.

The consortium headed by Todd Boehly are reportedly winning the race to become the new owners of Chelsea.

Boehly, a co-owner of the LA Dodgers, is currently competing with rivals bids which are being fronted by Sir Martin Broughton and Stephen Pagliuca.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Boehly is now the clear frontrunner, helped be having cash which is regarded as "more accessible".

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Roman Abramovich had requested that the respective bids be increased by £500m so that more funds can be donated to a charity which he describes as "the victims of Ukraine".

That stance can seemingly only favour Boehly's proposal should the suggestion that funds are more readily available be proven to be true, although it is highlighted that Broughton and Pagliuca are yet to completely give up hope of purchasing the Premier League club.

US merchant bank Raine Group are expected to make a final decision in the coming days.
