Musk has previously joked that he will buy Manchester United.

But football financial expert Dr Rob Wilson feels that the multi-billionaire should emulate the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Tom Brady by looking further down the pyramid.

"Millions of people in the US love British culture, particularly quintessential Middle England and the Cotswolds where Cheltenham is based.

"You’ve got these beautiful rolling hills in the background, you’ve got the racecourse so there is a really powerful story and a powerful narrative at a club like Cheltenham.

"They are up and coming and could be a great prospect."

Cheltenham Town currently find themselves 13th in League Two.

The Robins were relegated from League One last term, having struggled for several years to maintain a spot in the third tier.
