The deadline for Chelsea’s potential new owners to submit offers to buy the club has passed, DAILY POST reports.

New York-based merchant bank Raine Group was appointed to manage the sale and set a deadline of 9pm GMT this Friday for the final submission of bids.

Two or three preferred bids will then be identified and put forward.

It is understood that the total number of offers received is between 15 and 30.

Yesterday, London-based equity firm, Aethel Partners, became the latest bidder for Chelsea, submitting an offer in excess of £2bn.

Their offer includes an immediate £50m investment to prevent Chelsea from becoming insolvent.

Chelsea continues to operate under a strict licence, after the UK government imposed several sanctions on its owner, Roman Abramovich, over his alleged ties to Russia President Vladimir Putin.

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.”
