According to latest reports, A bid from the Ricketts family, alongside Ken Griffin, for Chelsea Football Club is believed to be submitted before the upcoming deadline.
The Blues’ current owner Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale at the beginning of the month, which has subsequently attracted a lot of interest from those who are keen on purchasing the club.
Chelsea set a deadline of 9pm on Friday 18 March for parties to submit their official bids for the club.

They will face competition for the club from a consortium led by Todd Boehly and Hansjorg Wyss who have told the Raine Group, who are overseeing the sale, they can complete the takeover before Chelsea play Brentford on April 2.
