West Ham could find new shareholders

West Ham are the subject of a major multi-million investment into the club although this may be some weeks away should it happen

Claret and Hugh have been told that agents and intermediaries are acting on behalf of certain third parties willing to invest are looking at options. The investment would not become takeover of the club with David Sullivan remaining the majority shareholder.

Sullivan and Gold have long made it clear since they took over the club they would welcome other investors to share the financial strain.

In 2017 American millionaire Tripp Smith invested in West Ham taking a 10% shareholding and loaning the club £9.5m interest-free.

According to our source, there is a chance of a new investor joining the existing shareholders but first they would need to show proof of funds  before any transaction can proceed.

Currently, David Sullivan owns 51.5% of the shares David Gold 35.1%Tripp Smith  10% Terry Brown and Daniel Harris 3.4%
