Roman Abramovich remains as committed to Chelsea as ever despite reports that he is exploring the possibility of selling the club for more than £2 billion.

According to the Sunday Times, Abramovich has enlisted Joe Ravitch from New York-based investment bank the Raine Group to advise on a strategic review after rejecting takeover bids from British chemicals tycoon Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Silver Lake Partners, a US private equity firm, earlier this year.
