After months of the ban by the Premier League Board and the UK government, the LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly’s $5.3 billion bid to buy Chelsea, has received the green light from the UK government and the Premier League Board.

Notably, after the war between Ukraine and Russia, the UK government sanctioned the Russian business tycoon, Roman Abramovich, and Chelsea. After that, the former Chelsea boss put his club on sale. And now, after months of sanctions, the Premier League club is set to get its new owner.
