The BBC say on their website “It had been reported that the energy drinks giant was considering a £200m offer for the Premier League club.

Sullivan and Gold bought a majority stake in West Ham in 2010 in a deal that valued the club at £105m.

Between them they now own more than 85% of the club.

Since August’s move to London Stadium, West Ham have also been linked with takeovers from Qatari and Chinese groups.

Last year Sullivan said it was possible a minority shareholding could be sold to clear debts but that he and Gold intended the ownership to pass on to their children.”
