Recently, Chelsea's shareholding transfer has attracted a lot of attention. British Sky Sports reported that the world-class racing driver Hamilton and American tennis diva Maria Sharapova, together with a consortium is interested in acquiring the "Blues". The "celebrity effect" of the two stars is particularly prominent in this acquisition. However, Hamilton as Arsenal's die-hard fans, this move but let his opponent Wei Stabang can not help but tease: "Arsenal fans to buy Chelsea, this is not a funny thing?"
Hamilton and Sharapova have reportedly been in contact with a British consortium led by Martin Bratton for the past few weeks. Sources say the pair will each contribute 10 million pounds to the consortium. Although this amount is only a small part of the £2.5 billion takeover plan, if Martin Bratton accepts the two into the game and succeeds in winning the bid, Hamilton and Sharapova will be among the ranks of Chelsea shareholders.
The plan sparked a lot of discussion when it was revealed, especially because Hamilton's fan status was awkward. The seven-time F1 champion has always been a big fan of Arsenal, another London club, and has publicly stated on several occasions that he is a "Guns fan", has an Arsenal tattoo on his body, and even wore an Arsenal shirt to a charity match in 2015. The sudden shift to Chelsea has left people wondering.
For Hamilton's move, his rival Vestabone also looked at it: "I am a Yanhofen fan myself, so I will never buy Ajax, if I am going to buy a club, then I have to go all out, I will not just buy a little share. Isn't Hamilton an Arsenal fan? An Arsenal fan buying Chelsea is a funny thing, everyone has the right to decide how they want to spend their money, we'll just have to wait and see what the end result is.
