Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha and rapper Stormzy are part of a consortium taking over non-league side AFC Croydon Athletic.
Zaha, Stormzy and Danny Young, the former head of player care at Palace, are close to completing a deal for the ninth-tier side in south London. All three have close personal ties to Croydon and are keen to help the club progress on and off the field.
AFC Croydon were founded in 2012 after Croydon Athletic folded. The Rams finished 15th in the Combined Counties League Premier Division South last season.
