Labour MP, Chris Bryant, has insisted that Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich is’terrified of being approved ‘by the UK Government and is offering his property amidst Russia’s intrusion of Ukraine.

Bryant said this in your house of Commons on Tuesday afternoon.

He urged the UK Government to speed up its process of putting sanctions in location.

Recall that Bryant had a couple of days earlier called on the government to take the Russian billionaire’s properties, including Chelsea, which he has owned since 2003, as part of its sanctions against Russia.

Abramovich, who strongly denied any relate to Russian President, Vladimir Putin, announced at the weekend that he is quiting his ‘stewardship and care’ of Chelsea, while the inner functions of the club are set to stay unchanged following his decision and he still remains the owner.

Uzbekistan-born billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who has links with Everton, has actually had his possessions frozen as part of sanctions by the European Union.

“I believe we need to stand united, end of,” Bryant said.

“But the Government has actually stated that it wants to, quite appropriately, to sanction Duma members and it wishes to sanction members of the Russian Federation Council, however it is not had the ability to do so yet.

“Alisher Usmanov has currently been approved by the EU however not yet by the UK, however I presume he will be pretty quickly on a UK list and Everton ought to definitely be cutting ties with him already.

“Roman Abramovich, well, I think he is terrified of being sanctioned, which is why he is currently going to sell his home tomorrow and offer another flat as well.

“My stress and anxiety is that we are taking too long about these things.”
