Todd Boehly set to kick-start Chelsea transfer plans ahead of summer
Ahead of the summer window, an excited Todd Boehly was quizzed on the chances of Chelsea completing huge deals;
“I think loyalty programs, whether it’s Vivid Seats, Dodgers, Lakers, Chelsea, we’re all thinking about how do we have direct customer relationships that we can then build upon. And if a form of that comes in a ‘tokenisation’, then so be it,” Boehly said.
“If you want to buy stock in the Green Bay Packers, that to me is ‘tokenization’. You have no rights, you have no control, but you can say you have an ‘interest’ in the Packers.

“He is a big player, one many teams would love to have. Am here in the club now and we will do whatever thing that is needed and advised by the manager, I see him as one of the bests.
“If he says, Neymar is the man, am sure I will shake the earth with his transfer cause it’s gonna be one of the greatest transfer deals of a new era.
“We want to be able to compete strongly for trophies and the time I spoke with Tuchel, he says a bigger stronger squad can achieve us this aim but maybe not in the next season but time taken, we will be there.
“Building a stronger Chelsea squad is at the top of our list and we will do what it takes to reach that level we envisage.”
