Accord­ing to the Dai­ly Mail, Ghana­ian busi­ness­man Bernard Antwi Boasi­ako has con­firmed he is eager to buy the Lon­don giants amid the ongo­ing cri­sis at Stam­ford Bridge. 
Last week, the UK gov­ern­ment imposed major sanc­tions on Russ­ian-Israeli oli­garch Abramovich, who has been Chelsea’s own­er since 2003. 
His rela­tion­ship, how­ev­er, with Russ­ian pres­i­dent Vladimir Putin has land­ed him and oth­er mega-rich Russ­ian busi­ness­men in hot water in Eng­land, with the bil­lion­aire cur­rent­ly thought to be in the process of sell­ing the club.

Rumours recent­ly emerged that Boasi­ako, who made his bil­lions being a gold­mine own­er, was explor­ing an offer for the Pre­mier League giants due to his fond feel­ings towards the Blues. 
A spokesper­son for the wealthy busi­ness has since appeared to con­firm his inter­est: “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.
“Restor­ing sta­bil­i­ty and ensur­ing there are no job loss­es are among the priorities.”
