Todd Boehly accused of offering to overspend on Chelsea transfer in order to avoid paying ‘unlucky’ amount

CHELSEA owner Todd Boehly’s transfer spending has come into question since his Blues takeover – but there could be a method to the madness.

The American billionaire has splashed over £1BILLION on players since buying the club from Roman Abramovich in 2022.

Boehly forked out almost £220m this summer with nearly half of that spent on Pedro Neto (£54m) and Joao Felix (£46.3m).

But the investment tycoon has a superstitious way with numbers.
