Arsenal fan Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams want to buy Chelsea, join consortium

Lewis Hamilton, a legend in Formula 1, and Serena Williams, a legend in the world of tennis, will join Martin Broughton’s consortium that plans to buy Chelsea football. Wealthy investors from around the world are joining the consortium, with the main aim of keeping Chelsea as a world class club.

Martin Broughton, who has been the chairman of Liverpool in the past, is the head of the consortium. The man is also joined by the likes of Sebastian Coe, president of the World Athletics Association. Now Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams have also joined.

Lewis Hamilton, who races in Formula One, has made no secret of the fact that he has long been an Arsenal supporter. Now he plans to invest his funds in Chelsea, even though it is one of his beloved club’s main rivals. He says he wants to take advantage of the opportunity.

Hamilton plans to invest around ten million pounds in the purchase. Joining this racer is another legend in the world of sport. Tennis player Serena Williams has already invested in another football team.

Angel City FC, which hails from Los Angeles, will soon make its debut in the National Women’s Soccer League. Williams has just become an investor in this soccer team. Now she would like to have a stake in Chelsea.

The sale of the London outfit is being overseen by the US bank Raine Group because Chelsea’s owner, the Russian Roman Abramovich, has been sanctioned. Other bidders include Todd Boehly, co-owner of the LA Dodgers, and Steve Pauglica, co-owner of the Boston Celtics.
