Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has revealed the club's ambition to be recognised as the world's number one club within the next eight years.
The Barclays Premiership champions yesterday announced a unique link-up with AEG, one of the major forces in North American soccer.
With Chelsea set to have a presence in America, Kenyon also wants the club to have a global following.
Kenyon said in the Daily Telegraph: “Chelsea's vision is by 2014 to become internationally recognised as the world's number one football club. We intend to meet it.”
