David Sullivan has tonight confirmed he intends to go ahead with legal action against Sporting Lisbon and their  director of communications, Nuno Saraiva, who claimed West Ham made no formal written offer to sign the midfielder William Carvalho.

Saraiva also dubbed the Hammers co chairman a “parastite” and “liar” which Sullivan claims has left him no alternative but to sue.

Speaking exclusively to Claretandhugh a few moments ago he said: “I will be starting legal action against Sporting Lisbon and their media director.I hate suing people in football, but accusation is so strong we have no alternative.”

However, he says he is not looking for any financial reward adding: “We’ll just look for a retraction and apology and a payment to charity. I’m not looking for financial gain.”

Saraiva had said said:  “David Sullivan is lying. Sporting Clube de Portugal, as its chairman has already said, has received no offer for the player William Carvalho.”

And he went on to make made derogatory remarks about Sullivan, and how he made his money through the adult entertainment business, and said he needed to provide proof backing up his claim that a bid had been made.”
