Chelsea are planning to add a former player to the board.

According to Daily Mail, Chelsea’s new regime will consider adding an ex-player to the club’s board after completing their highly-anticipated £4.25billion takeover on Monday.

The American-led consortium, spearheaded by businessman Todd Boehly and investment firm Clearlake Capital, was confirmed as Chelsea’s new owners on Monday.

Boehly is also set to have fan representation on the board with Daniel Finkelstein – who is a Conservative peer and columnist for The Times – and music broker Barbara Charone to take up non-executive roles.
