American rapper and Arsenal supporter Jay-Z has told Arsenal Magazine that he would like to invest in the club if the opportunity should arise. Jay-Z, whose name is Shawn Carter and who is married to Beyonce, owns a portion of the NBA’s New Jersey Nets and is said to be worth around £500m.

Jay-Z admitted that he didn’t know much about the business of soccer but said that he was a businessman who would always look at an opportunity. Given the current competition for Arsenal shares, it is difficult to see how he could invest but a new owner, particularly one from the United States, might bring him in.
