Boehly completed a takeover of Chelsea in the summer of 2022 for \u00a34.25billion. Since then, the American has spent just shy of \u00a31bn on transfers as part of a major rebuild of the club&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n<p>The 50-year-old is also the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers in Major League Baseball. It was confirmed over the weekend that an agreement had been reached for the Dodgers to acquire Shohei Ohtani.<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani had been the subject of intense speculation in MLB after rumours began swirling during the season that he could join a new team. The 29-year-old had spent six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels before making the switch to Dodger Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The deal agreed by the Dodgers, and sanctioned by Boehly, will see Ohtani contracted to the franchise for the next 10 years and earn $700 million (\u00a3550 million). That will be the record amount earned by an MLB player since the Angels agreed to a 12-year $430 million (\u00a3342 million) with Mike Trout back in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Follow us on X<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<em><strong>for the best and latest in sports news.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5110090.jpg?r=1702321473308\"><\/p>\n<p>With Boehly owning both Chelsea and the Dodgers, he faces a busy few weeks ahead on the spending front. The January transfer window is looming, and based on comments from manager Mauricio Pochettino it looks likely to see more money spent.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea lost 2-0 to Everton on Sunday to follow on from the midweek loss to Manchester United. The Stamford Bridge club now lies in 12th place in the Premier League table and 14 points adrift of the top four places.<\/p>\n<p>After the defeat at Goodison Park, Pochettino admitted that further spending may be needed to improve the club&#8217;s chances of success this season. Chelsea have lost seven of their 16 Premier League games this term, in what is Pochettino&#8217;s first year in charge of the club.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the first half of the season, we need to check,&#8221; Pochettino told reporters on Sunday, via Sky Sports. &#8220;That is the reality. If we are not receiving enough, maybe we need to do some movement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is the thing to analyse with the sporting directors, to see if we can change this dynamic and improve in the second half of the season. We need to be more aggressive. Then it&#8217;s a massive assessment and when the transfer window opens, we will see what we can do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t say if I am going to ask for more or less players. It&#8217;s to see if the perception matches the reality. We are missing something.
