Grant is asking fans to fork out $1,000 – which is around £770 under the current exchange rate – to have a video sent to him. 

However on his Cameo profile, the football manager states that the money will be donated to charity. 

A brief video clip is available on Cameo, in which the ex-Blues boss says: ‘Hi I’m Avram Grant and I'm on Cameo.'

Grant has a five star rating on the website, with a single review praising his service as 'awesome’. 

Fans are able to have the message texted to someone as well as sent by email – and you can leave specific instructions with what you want the celebrity to say in the message. 

Other stars who are on Cameo include  former Pompey players Jermaine Pennant and Kevin-Prince Boateng are also on Cameo and they are charging hundreds of dollars to send personalised videos to fans. 

To get a message from newly signed Barcelona star Kevin-Prince Boateng, who was part of Avram Grant’s Pompey team which was narrowly defeated by Chelsea in the FA Cup final in May 10, you will have to pay $125 – which is just under £100.
