Former CNN broadcaster, Piers Morgan, has slammed “weasel words” from Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, after the billionaire businessman confirmed he was handing over the stewardship of the football club.

Abramovich, who bought the Blues in 2003, on Saturday issued a statement revealing he would put the “stewardship and care” of the club in the hands of its charitable foundation.

The move from the 55-year-old comes at a time when he is being accused of having links with Russian president, Vladimir Putin.

Morgan has now criticized Abramovich, calling on the oligarch to condemn Putin’s actions outright.

“Where is the condemnation of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine?” he tweeted.

Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov, has named the team that could “surprise” Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners are now six points clear of second-placed Chelsea, thanks to their 4-1 demolition of Tottenham on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s men could extend that lead to nine points, when they travel to face the Blues this weekend.

Berbatov has now said he expects Arsenal to be “really tested” over the hectic festive period and says their title credentials will become clearer in the New Year.

“Of course Liverpool are low in the table and Man City are dropping points, but there are other teams like Chelsea who can surprise people,” Berbatov told ESPN.

“Six points is a good cushion but in the Premier League it’s nothing and can go very quickly.”
