Legendary ex-player of Chelsea and current manager, Frank Lampard, said, “We are delighted to welcome Arjun Kapoor into the Chelsea FC family. He is a versatile actor with a fantastic personality and a deep love for the club. Arjun’s charisma and passion will be brought onto screens as he hosts our brand-new digital fan-show Out of the Blue with Arjun Kapoor.”
“I have passionately rooted for the club, celebrated the victories and felt the heartbreaks from the losses. Chelsea FC is in a rebuilding phase and as a fan, I’m privileged that I’m getting to spread the word in India through my knowledge of the club and the game. I feel like a child inside and can’t stop smiling. It’s like a dream come true to be the brand ambassador of Chelsea in India. I’m thrilled that I will be hosting the club’s exclusively crafted campaign Out of the Blue intended at bringing Indian fans closer to the club,” said Arjun from London.
