Ghanaian businessman Bernard Antwi Boasiako had pledged to bring stability back to Chelsea after confirming to Sportsmail that he is interested in bidding for the club.
Claims emerged last week that the gold mine owner was exploring an offer to buy the crisis-stricken Stamford Bridge club, with a spokesman for the African businessman now confirming his interest.
A spokesman for Boasiako told Sportsmail: 'Bernard Antwi Boasiako is exploring a potential offer for Chelsea. Discussions with various parties involved in the sale have taken place.
'Chelsea has 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.'
In addition, Boasiako is also pledging to make special concessions for children aged 10 and under at Stamford Bridge in hope of nurturing a family atmosphere at Chelsea.
Sources close to the tycoon say Boasiako has an emotional attachment to Chelsea owing to the number of successful African players that have played for the club during the Roman Abramovich era.
In addition to Drogba and Essien; the likes of Salomon Kalou, John Obi Mikel, Samuel Eto'o - and most recently Edouard Mendy all playing for the club. He is said to be a particular fan of former Blues midfielder Claude Makelele, who is of Congolese descent.
But it is the fact the 45-year-old has made preserving all employment at Chelsea a priority during a period where there has been huge uncertainty over jobs that could also aid his chances.
It is understood the tycoon has made concrete enquiries with regards to making an offer ahead of Friday's deadline, with his advisers now working on the viability of any bid.
He remains in contact with a number of London-based consultants ahead of Friday's bid cut-off.
It remains to be seen whether Boasiako, who will focus on growing the club's popularity in the lucrative Asian markets, follows through with an official bid - but his interest is now clear.

Hanson mining is not solely owned by him. He has shares in it. Per Ghana's GDP no citizen can lay claim of a £6bn net worth, whoever lay such claim is a thief. If he has such money he and his party should make Ghana better

why can't he invest that money to develop football in his native country Africans will forever remain brainless
wise man we hear. if you're a business man looking to invest your money, you'd choose African football over a club ike Chelsea? that would not be a business investment. because Chelsea would be more profitable.

I love Africa coz am one, but let this African tycoon leave Chelsea coz the way how they treated the Russian just imagine if it was an African. Everything now even his Children and wife would have been taken away, even his old shoe he gave to a neighbor would be now investigated. The whole country would be sealed off by those white opportunists.
