Supermodel Claudia Schiffer's film-maker husband invests in Premier League football club which 'values the club at £450m'- and reveals one regret in doing so

Brentford are taking the next step in their dizzying rise by welcoming the investment of two new parties - including a sprinkle of Hollywood.

Supermodel Claudia Schiffer's film-maker husband Sir Matthew Vaughn and philanthropist Gary Lubner have joined the London club as minority shareholders.

It comes a day after Sky News reported that majority owner Matthew Benham had clinched a deal to buy a minority stake that values the club at £450m.

Benham took full control of the Bees in 2012 when they were in League One and has overseen their rise to the top half of the Premier League.
