A$AP Rocky is reportedly eyeing a bold move into English football by joining a bid to buy Tranmere Rovers, a League Two club, for £15m.

Leverage celebrity influence and smart marketing to elevate the club’s status—maybe even get RiRi to a match! If the deal goes through, we could see some serious star power at Prenton Park.
