Hollywood superstar Reese Witherspoon has revealed that she is a huge Arsenal fan and would like to invest in the club.

Witherspoon admitted his family would be happy if they invested in Arsenal
Last year, Witherspoon became an investor in MLS team Nashville SC.
She was asked if she would follow Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to own a British team.
Both men became the surprising but much-loved owners of National League side Wrexham and did everything they could to try and bring them back into the Football League.
Former Tottenham star and One Show host Jermaine Jenas said: “We’re going to talk about football later in the show and I know you. [Witherspoon and Your Place or Mine co-star Ashton Kutcher] are both big fans.
“Reese, you own an American football club or have an investment in an American club.
“Would you ever consider investing in a club in the UK? Like Ryan Reynolds with Wrexham.

Reynolds and McElhenney have become very popular at Wrexham
Witherspoon said: “If there’s room at Arsenal, all my sons and everyone would be really excited. They’re our favorite team.
“We watched the game the other day. It was bananas! It’s our team.
Jenas added: “You literally picked my rivals.”
Witherspoon replied: “I’m probably going to really destroy myself here too because there are people who aren’t Arsenal fans.
“I also like PSG.”

Kutcher revealed he could have invested in a Premier League side
Jenas said: “Go with them instead of Arsenal please Reese, it would be a lot friendlier.”
Kutcher also revealed that he almost invested in a Premier League team very recently.
The star said: “I’m a big fan of American football…but I watch the Premier League and I actually came very close to investing in a Premier League team last month.”
If he had invested in a club, he would have followed Michael B. Jordan in doing so. The Creed star recently became a shareholder of Bournemouth.
