Having witnessed Chelsea collect their 21st piece of silverware during his time at Stamford Bridge with success at the Club World Cup last month, Roman Abramovich would have been anticipating further success throughout 2022.
However, if the Blues do win more trophies this season and beyond, it will not be with the Russian billionaire as the club's owner after he decided to put the Premier League giants up for sale, a direct consequence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
With an open chequebook seemingly at his disposal, Abramovich has consistently funded some of the most expensive transfers that the football world has ever seen, including last year when Romelu Lukaku was signed for a club-record fee of £97.5m.
