If the deal is confirmed, Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is likely to attend games alongside Rihanna at Prenton Park in Birkenhead.

Tranmere Rovers told ITV Granada Reports they're refusing to comment on the speculation.Reports have claimed that a documentary similar to the critically-acclaimed docu-series 'Welcome to Wrexham' could also be in the pipeline.

The series documents the events of the Welsh football club as told by the club's owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, as they learn to run the third oldest professional football club in the world.

Tranmere Rovers who won 2-1 at Bromley at the weekend, are currently 16th in League Two and have been owned by Mark and Nicola Palios for a decade.
