NFL legend J.J. Watt is in the United Kingdom to meet with Burnley club officials as the former defensive star could become a minority shareholder.
At the end of the 2022 campaign, Watt announced he will retire from the NFL after a career that spanned 12 seasons. A five-time Pro Bowler, he was also was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-2010s Team and named Defensive Player of the Year on three occasions.
Watt is a renowned football fan and he recently has posted a number of photos of his living room as he watches Burnley games, which is rather curious although the Clarets are currently leading the Championship. His wife, Kealia, is a footballer herself who has enjoyed spells with the Houston Dash and Chicago Red Stars while making three appearances - and scoring once - for the USWNT.
