The Financial Times says the American financier and Clearlake Capital have now raised £800m, which will go towards the playing squad, stadium and academy set up.

Of the funds raised, £300m is part of a revolving credit facility, while the other £500m comes from a term loan.

On taking control at Stamford Bridge, Boehly and Clearlake vowed to invest a further £1.75bn into Chelsea, having bought the club from Abramovich for £2.5bn.
