All clubs in the Premier League and EFL could be owned by American investors in the next five to 10 years, says a football investment expert.

Ian WoodcockAll of the clubs in the Premier League and English Football League could be owned by American investors in the next five to 10 years, according to a football investment expert.

Sommerfeld said that the relatively low initial investment of between £10-15m to buy a League One or Two club, and the potential to greatly improve its standing, was a "sexy" proposition.

Former NFL defensive end JJ Watt is a minority owner at Burnley while legendary quarterback Tom Brady is similarly involved with League One side Birmingham City. Couhig said that he "enjoyed" owning the club but that, no matter how successful the team is, some fans will always question the motives of foreign investment.
