“Talks underway” | West Ham looking to sell shares to US investor | OneFootball

West Ham are in talks with a potential new investor who has been described as ‘wealthy’.

Club insider ExWHUEmployee of The West Ham Way earlier reported that talks were underway, albeit at an early stage, over the potential sale of 25.1% of the football club to the mystery US investor, with many hoping could signal a new chapter at the club.

“We can exclusively reveal that a wealthy American has been preparing to make an offer for David Gold’s shares of the club,” stated Ex. “It is well known that the Gold family are prepared to listen to offers for their percentage which is thought to be around 25.1 of the club.

“Whether an acceptable offer will ever be made is currently in negotiations now. Whilst the potential American investor’s identity isn’t known yet he said to be quite wealthy. It is important to stress that this is at the very early stages and such movement may not have even got back to the club yet.”
