West Ham are claimed to now be open to receiving investment.
West Ham’s Olympic Stadium
There are potential new developments surrounding West Ham amid a report in The Express which claims the club’s co-owners are open to receiving investment in the club.
The report states that duo David Gold and David Sullivan would sell some of their stake in the club to a wealthy benefactor if approached, but want to retain their places on the board.

Last year the duo rejected a £650 million full takeover offer from energy firm Red Bull, The Express report.
This is not what Gold and Sullivan are looking for, but their desire to sell some of their shares indicates they have reservations over how far they can take the club forward.
West Ham have had a very disappointing season and without substantial investment, breaking into the top six looks more difficult than ever, despite bold predictions from the duo that the move to the Olympic Stadium could help with this.
Premier League competitors Everton and West Brom have big money financiers from Iran and China adding to their funds, and the Hammers are evidently looking for similar investors.
