Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has opened up on why one of his early signings for the Blues claims to have struggled in the Premier League. 

Since taking over the West London club in 2022 as head of the Clearlake consortium, Boehly has spent over a billion pounds trying to get the right squad together to mount a decent campaign.

The American businessman spoke on the global greatness of football - and the Premier League in particular - but noted how the pace of the game left one £33m signing struggling to adapt after joining Chelsea.

According to the Metro, Boehly said: ‘There’s no bigger sport in the world. When you think about just the size and scale of European football, it’s just mind-numbing and there’s no better league in the world in the Premier League.

‘If you look at how these guys play, the speed with which they play the game. One of my players who I had a great relationship with is Kalidou Koulibaly.
