Lee Andrews Claims Hes Buying Chelsea FC

Chelsea fans have suffered mixed fortunes since and his BlueCo consortium bought the west London football club from  in 2022.

'I can’t tell you all the workings and inner parts to my wealth but definitely the money is there,' Andrews, 42, told The Sun. 'And they have to accept and they have to verify, but it will be going in.

Ex-fiancée Alana Percival, 32, who accepted a marriage proposal from Andrews just 16 weeks before he exchanged vows with Price, has accused him of scamming money out of her and making false claims about his personal wealth and various achievements. 

The businessman has previously claimed to hold a PhD from Cambridge University, while managing the sustainable vehicle venture, Aura Worldwide Holdings Limited, from his home in the United Arab Emirates.
