Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton said on Friday that being part of a consortium bidding to take over English Premier League club Chelsea was too great an opportunity to pass by.

Hamilton, along with US tennis star Serena Williams, could each invest up to GBP 10 million, according to Sky News, as part of a consortium led by former Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton. “Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world and most successful,” said Hamilton, who professed a life-long love of football. “When I heard about this opportunity, I was like wow, this is one of the greatest opportunities to be a part of something so great.”
