Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan is interested in London football. Make that soccer to us in the United States.
, Khan is in negotiations to buy Fulham F.C.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a club that plays in the Barclays Premier League. Fulham's current longtime owner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mohamed Al-Fayed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is motivated to move the franchise soon and could strike a deal with Khan sometime this week.
Fans at London's Wembley Stadium will get to see Khan's Jaguars in "American football" action over the next four NFL seasons. In 2013,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they will take on the reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers there on Oct. 27. They also have three more U.K. games scheduled between 2014 and '16.
Fulham's home ground is Craven Cottage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which sits on the banks of the River Thames in London. It also happens to be less than 10 miles away from Wembley Stadium.
If Khan buys Fulham,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he would be the second current NFL owner to also own an English soccer club. The other is also based in Florida—the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Malcolm Glazer, who also makes big profits with Manchester United. The Rams' Stan Kroenke is the majority shareholder of Arsenal.
