The Premier League has contacted Chelsea to request clarification over the club’s relationship with ticket resale platforms, amid growing scrutiny surrounding co-owner Todd Boehly’s involvement with Vivid Seats.

While Vivid Seats operates legally overseas, it is not permitted to conduct business in the UK. In March, the Chelsea Supporters’…
