Premier League star 'buys SIX flats in one day' - as the midfielder looks to expand his budding property empire
A Premier League footballer has expanded his property portfolio by buying six flats in a single day.
The 30-year-old runs a successful buy-to-let business with more than a dozen homes and recently spent £1.6million to expand his budding empire.
According to a report from The Sun, Bournemouth star Ryan Christie purchased the apartments in Glasgow back in April.
The Scotland international runs Twenty Two Investment Properties Ltd alongside his partner, Georgina Bell, 30.
The six properties - situated near the River Clyde in the Scottish city - represented a seven-figure outlay for the couple.
Records note that the pair, who are reportedly set to marry this summer, purchased the flats at £275,000, £220,000, two at £215,000, and £175,000 and £160,000 on April 28.
Christie missed much of the latter half of Bournemouth's campaign with a groin injury but was still named the Cherries' Player of the Season as Andoni Iraola's side recorded a top-half finish.
'Ryan's work rate is quite incredible. He was player of the season, has undergone surgery and it also looks like he is due to get married,' a source told The Sun.
'But he still found time to splash a fortune on half-a-dozen homes.'
Christie joined Bournemouth from Celtic in 2021 and was instrumental in leading the club to the Premier League in his first season on the south coast.
Since then the midfielder has racked up 98 top flight appearances for the club, scoring three goals.

Stuart Hogg: Sheriff notes ex-Scotland rugby captain's 'compliance' with order in domestic abuse case
A sheriff has noted former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg's "complete compliance" with a community payback order following his domestic abuse conviction. Hogg, 32, last year pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse of his estranged wife, Gillian Hogg, between 2019 and 2024. He admitted shouting and swearing, tracking her movements and sending her messages which were alarming and distressing in nature. A court heard how he berated his ex-partner for "not being fun" after going on drinking binges with his colleagues, and once sent more than 200 text messages to her in the space of a few hours, causing her to suffer a panic attack. In January, Hogg was handed a community payback order (CPO) with one year of supervision and a five-year non-harassment order. He had earlier been fined £600 for breaching bail conditions by repeatedly contacting Mrs Hogg when prohibited from doing so. Sheriff Peter Paterson warned the sentence was an "alternative to custody". During a review of the order at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Monday, the rugby player was not present himself and was represented by his lawyer Mat Patrick. Mr Patrick said: "This is the second review of this order. My submission is that the order should be allowed to continue." Sheriff Paterson said the only point on which he was unclear was whether Hogg - who plays for French team Montpellier - "was back in the UK", to which Mr Patrick replied that he was not. Discussing the order, Sheriff Paterson noted "that there has been complete compliance with it". He added: "My intention is that there would be no further review." It comes after Sheriff Paterson previously urged Hogg to "face the consequences of his actions" and "move on" from feeling "hard done by". Hogg's parents, John and Margaret Hogg, attended the court hearing. The sportsman retired from professional rugby in July 2023 but last summer it was announced he was returning after signing for Montpellier on a two-year contract. The former Glasgow Warriors and Exeter Chiefs player was made an MBE for services to the sport in last year's New Year Honours list. in the wake of the court case.

The 25-year-old praised Thomas Frank's impact on his development as both a player and a person, highlighting Frank's tactical intelligence and ability to build a strong team dynamic. The forward acknowledged the transfer speculation as part of football life, reflecting on his best Premier League season and Brentford's near miss in chasing a European spot. Manchester United are reportedly preparing a second bid for Mbeumo, while Tottenham hopes Frank's presence and Champions League football will give them an advantage.
