In a move to expand his increasing business empire, Jay-Z is said to be reportedly in talks to buy a piece of the famed London soccer team, Aresenal FC.

Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) has purportedly been in negotiations with Aresenal front office brass to purchase a big stake in the London squad.

Originally a team of munitions workers from southeast London before moving to north London, the Aresenal’s aka the “Gunners” have won five English league titles and two F.A. cups.

Now under the guidance of Frenchman Arsène Wenger, it is potentially entering a second golden age as one of Europe's most exciting attacking teams.

If cemented, the deal would be another successful business notch under the Brooklyn entrepreneur’s belt.

Known for his business acumen, Jay-Z has currently enjoying a string of fruitful business deals as of late.

He is currently developing his own S. Carter high-end clothing line, and in the spring he introduced a collaboration with Swiss luxury-watch maker Audemars Piguet.

In addition, Carter’s Rocawear clothing brand is generating some $400 million a year in sales. (Carter and partners recently bought out co-founder Dash for an estimated $25 million.)

Although Carter has mainly orchestrated his deals behind the scenes, his business accomplishments have not gone unnoticed.

The business community recognized Jay-Z’s savvy earlier this year when he was received the British GQ’s International Man of the Year award.

He also was recently featured on the cover of the well-respected financial business magazine, Fortune.

What do you guys think about that? Think he will get love, or be hated like dude that bought Man U. It might bring some more soccer to the us too.

lol its nothing to do with racism man theres more black players in the arsenal team than white !
yea its a clever move on his part its a money making move, however english football fans are passionate about there club and don't like the idea of people only being after money and not having an intrest in the club thats where the problem will lie !

your gonna take 'Realsports' word for that? cmon man i know u aint like that. you got a few stupid pricks in maybe Spain and Italy who have no black players, but English football is totally different. we've got 6 black players on our national squad. english football is definately the main body in reducing racism massively in Britain, its organises so many campaigns. check the links:

i think the reason why Jay-Z will meet fierce opposition is coz of the fact he knows nothing about the game and peoples belief that he is buying in for the profits (which he probably is, this is jay-z). i really dont think he will get hold of the club, and it will take him years if he tries.

haha added time multi-ball! i dont think jay-z will mess around that much with the club, he will just be in it for the $$$. he will just let the club run itself.

To quote Chris Rock: "When you know how many black people has been in your house, you're a racist!"
