“Chelsea” club co-owner Todd Boehly has set his sights on stepping into the “Ligue 1” championship.

As reported by “L'Equipe”, the tycoon has his eye on “Strasbourg”, which currently occupies 15th place in the French championship.

It is said that T. Boehly has already started negotiations with the team's president, Marc Keller.

By acquiring a new team, the “Premier” club leader could solve one problem – they could loan players belonging to “Chelsea” there.

According to the media, the American is closely watching the German championship and in the future may also acquire a team from this country.
