Reports suggest that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich is may be thinking of selling the Chelsea football club to Gulf Arabs. According to The Times, representatives of the oligarch have travelled to Saudi Arabia and Dubai to elicit interest in the club. The meeting was with members of the Saudi royal family. i have to say though that there has been no evidence so far of a potential buyer.

One source said: “Abramovich’s team have been out in the Middle East sounding out what interest there is in buying the club.”

Chelsea have trashed these claims insisting last night that Abramovich was still fully committed to the club on which he has lavished hundreds of millions of pounds.
