The Premier League are investigating Chelsea over claims they paid millions to offshore companies during Roman Abramovich’s reign.
A probe has been launched after the club’s American bosses, who took over following the Russian’s enforced departure, self-reported to the top flight, Football Association and UEFA.
While Chelsea are yet to be charged, should they be found guilty they could be hit with a considerable fine or points deduction.
The new owners at Stamford Bridge made the submissions after flagging concerns over a number of previous transactions they uncovered during the takeover process.
Their concerns are over a number of payments to different offshore entities which are thought to be linked to transfers and which were not included in Chelsea’s annual reporting under financial regulations.
