Mexican Drug lord "El Chapo" wanted to buy Chelsea

Foreign owners have become commonplace in the Premier

League over the past decade and a report in Spain has now

claimed a Mexican drug lord was interested in buying

Chelsea.

Roman Abramovich bought the Blues back in 2003, but

criminal overlord Joaquin Guzman - who is better known by

his nickname 'El Chapo' was keen to take over at Stamford

Bridge.

Sport newspaper claims El Chapo - who was arrested last

week after breaking out of prison in the summer - intended

on combining his passion for football and entrepreneurship

prior to his imprisonment.

The Premier League's fit and proper persons test may well

have had other ideas...
