Global sports icons Serena Williams and Lewis Hamilton have reportedly pledged £10 million ($13.1 million) each to a prospective bid to buy Premier League side Chelsea, according to Sky Sports.
The duo joins a bid reportedly worth more than £200 million headed by Sir Martin Broughton, a British businessman and former Liverpool chairman. Other partners in the bid include World Athletics president Sebastian Coe along with Josh Harris and David Blitzer, members of the ownership groups for the Philadelphia 76ers and Crystal Palace.
If the bid is selected, it wouldn’t be Williams’s first foray into the world of soccer.
