Ghanian businessman Bernard Antwi Boasiako has reiterated his desire to buy Chelsea.

The goldmine owner put his name forward recently to buy the club after Roman Abramovich had his assets frozen by the UK government after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Boasiako has said he is interested in enhancing the club's reputation in Africa.

"Bernard Antwi Boasiako is exploring a potential offer for Chelsea. Discussions with various parties involved in the sale have taken place," a spokesperson told Sportsmail.

"Chelsea have a lasting legacy in Africa, players like Didier Drogba and Michael Essien are legends of the club; the opportunity to enhance the club's reputation in Africa is a very tempting prospect.

"Restoring stability and ensuring there are no job losses are among the priorities."

Other interested parties include boyhood Chelsea fan Nick Candy, as well as a consortium consisting of Todd Boehly, Jonathan Goldstein, and Hansjorg Wyss.

The Ricketts family, owners of the American baseball team the Chicago Cubs, and billionaire hedge fund tycoon Ken Griffin, have teamed up to launch a potential offer for the west London club.
