April 21 (Reuters) - Former tennis world number one Serena Williams
and seven-times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton have joined
Martin Broughton's bid to buy Premier League club Chelsea, a source
close to the bid told Reuters on Thursday.

Former Liverpool chairman Broughton's consortium includes World
Athletics President Sebastian Coe and wealthy investors from around
the world, who the group says all want to maintain Chelsea's top
status.

Private equity veterans Josh Harris and David Blitzer, who own sport
teams including the National Basketball Association's Philadelphia
76ers, are also backing Broughton's bid.

Williams and Hamilton have pledged an estimated 10 million pounds
($13.06 million) each to the bid, Sky Sports reported.

Hamilton's representatives later confirmed that the 37-year-old had
joined Broughton's bid, but said the financial figures quoted in the
report were not accurate, without disclosing any details.
