Are Chelsea Football Club set to be taken over by a consortium of cash-rich Saudis? There appears to be a legitimate possibility.
Chelsea are currently in the hands of the British government as a consequence of the sanctions put upon owner Roman Abramovich.
A quick sale is now in the best interest of all parties, with Chelsea now highly likely to be under new ownership within a matter of weeks.
There have been multiple potential American buyers linked, as well as British billionaire Nick Candy, but could the Saudis once again triumph?

Goal reporter Nizaar Kinsella, who is one of the most reliable journalists when it comes to Chelsea news, first broke the story of Saudi interest.
He sent Chelsea fans into a frenzy on Saturday after replying to an earlier tweet on the situation with a rather cheeky and suggestive emoji.

Having a Saudi consortium in charge would likely see Chelsea remain as one of the richest clubs on the planet, so you can see why the fans are keen.
However, they would be changing one morally problematic owner for another. Would this really be a step in the right direction for the club?
