Hollywood star Will Ferrell has become the latest celebrity to invest in Championship club Leeds, according to reports.
Ferrell has reportedly bought a “large” stake in the US-based 49ers Enterprises group that owns the Elland Road side. The 56-year-old joins fellow actor Russell Crowe, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas as an investor in Leeds.
Three-time major winner Spieth confirmed he and fellow American Thomas bought minority shares in the former English champions last year. Ferrell is co-owner of Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC and revealed he was a big fan of English football during a trip to watch Manchester City beat Aston Villa 3-1 last season.
