Reese Witherspoon sends Arsenal investment message to Stan Kroenke in Ryan Reynolds ploy

Reese Witherspoon has admitted that she has an interest in making an investment in Arsenal, with the Hollywood actress a fan of the club and amid a growing trend of big names investing in English football.

The star of the Legally Blonde franchise has expressed her love of the Gunners, a passion she shares with her son, and has admitted that her family would be happy if she chose to invest in the club. There is a growing trend of big names investing in football, with Will Ferrell and Matthew McConaughey setting a trend for Hollywood stars investing following their work in the MLS.

This has spread across the pond, with 'Creed' star Michael B Jordan being part of a consortium which has recently purchased Bournemouth. Meanwhile, the most high-profile club ownership in the UK from a big name from the USA is 'Deadpool' star Ryan Reynolds taking over Wrexham alongside 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' writer and actor Rob McElhenney.
