A YouTuber has bought a non-league football club in hopes of taking them to the Premier League.

On Tuesday (3 March), KSI announced that he had bought a stake in Dagenham and Redbridge FC with a montage of clips filmed at the club's Victoria Road stadium.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge listed off his various endeavours as he explained the move : “I’m a man who does whatever I want. You can’t ever stop wanting more.”

He said that the journey will be a “roller coaster for sure,” but he is determined to bring the team, who were relegated to National League South at the end of last season, back to their “glory days”.
