Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City's League Two rivals 'set' for surprise investment from rapper A$AP Rocky

The American artist is best known for his chart hits and relationship with fellow music sensation Rihanna. However, it appears he could be branching out into the world of English football.

According to The Sun, he is part of an investment group looking to buy the 80 per cent of the club for around £15m.

The investment group is thought to be spearheaded by celebrity lawyer Joe Tacopina, with whom the rapper is close.

If the takeover is completed, there could reportedly be a documentary following the club’s progress in the style of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’.

Wrexham were bought by acting stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2020 and have since risen from the National League to League One.

There has also been celebrity investment in Championship promotion hopefuls Leeds United, with an array of high-profile figures having put money into the club.

Hollywood star Will Ferrell is among the investors and attended Leeds’ defeat to Burnley last month. There has also been investment from the likes of Michael Phelps and Larry Nance Jr.

Tranmere have been in League Two since 2020, when they were relegated from the third tier. They currently sit 16th in the division, having won just three of their opening 11 games.
