Pop star Rihanna is ready to invest in a Premier League club with the Liverpool her team of choice.<\/p>\n
Chris Brown\u2019s ex has been advised to buy Liverpool by her close friend and Chelsea star Didier Drogba.<\/p>\n
While it seems highly unlikely Liverpool\u2019s current owners \u2013 the Fenway Sports Group \u2013 would sell given the Reds impressive form last season, the prospect of Rihanna sharing a seat in the directors\u2019 box with Newcastle chief Mike Ashley is pretty amusing.<\/p>\n
Anfield is famous for its renditions of You\u2019ll Never Walk Alone but if the 26-year-old has her way Steven Gerrard could soon be leading his team out to Unfaithful or We Found Love instead.<\/p>\n
The Caribbean beauty is also keen to start her own footballing academy in Barbados.<\/p>\n
It is unlikely Liverpool\u2019s fans will be pleased about Rihanna\u2019s rumoured takeover<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first we thought Rihanna\u2019s desire to be involved with soccer on a business level would soon blow over,\u201d a source close to the singer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe figured she was still on a high from the World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut now it\u2019s becoming clear she really is serious. She\u2019s talking about setting up a football academy in her native barbados.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen her big dream is to be involved with a UK club.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Germany\u2019s win over Argentina in the World Cup final Rihanna was pictured holding the coveted trophy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI touched the cup, held the cup, kissed the cup,\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cTook a selfie wit the cup!!! I meeeaan\u2026\u2026 what is YO bucket list looking like brush?\u201d<\/p>\n
