"I've been a football fan since I was a kid. I played football from the age of four until I was 17 – I was in teams every year, I played in the school team every year through my childhood.

"Ultimately, I am a sporting fan. It is the biggest sport in the world and Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world and most successful. When I heard about this opportunity I was like ‘wow, this is one of the greatest opportunities to be a part of something so great’," he added.

Both Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams have joined the list of investors behind Sir Martin Broughton (former Liverpool FC and British Airways chairman), who's leading the takeover for the club.

Broughton's consortium includes World Athletics President Sebastian Coe and wealthy investors from around the world. The plan of the group is to maintain Chelsea's top status just like it is and hopefully make it bigger.
