What Todd Boehly did after Graham Potter gets Leeds reprieve as Chelsea owner shows commitment

Chelsea news: Todd Boehly continues Blues promise after men's side beat Leeds at Stamford Bridge on Saturday

Todd Boehly tried to bring good luck to Chelsea for a second time over the weekend, going to Selhurst Park to watch the women's side in their Continental Cup final against Arsenal. Having watched the men's side win at home to Leeds United on Saturday, the American co-owner stayed in London to cast his eyes over Emma Hayes' side.

It is the women's team that have been the more successful on the pitch for much of the past decade, winning the Women's Super League (WSL) five times in seven seasons, as well as an extra six domestic cups and a Champions League final. Their aim to add the 2023 Conti Cup to that collection couldn't have gotten off to a better start either.

"As one of the world’s elite football clubs, Chelsea sits at the pinnacle of the game. We want to build on this remarkable history of success by acquiring quality talent across our senior, youth and women’s teams, exploring ways to improve the game-day experience – such as the Bridge and Kingsmeadow – and continuing our service to the community, including the vital work of the Chelsea Foundation.

“Today’s game is an opportunity to welcome our new signings to the Bridge for the time as Chelsea players. There is so much for us to accomplish together. The same excitement goes for our women’s team and academy set-up, both of which are among the very best in the world.

"We’re so proud of their successes, and we eagerly await next month, when Emma Hayes brings the Chelsea Women squad here to the Bridge to begin their WSL title defence."
