Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after Sky News revealed that Daniel Kretinsky is close to buying a big stake in West Ham.
What’s the story?
Well, things could be about to get even better for West Ham, and the Tottenham supporters seem envious.
Sky News reveal that the Czech-based billionaire is in advanced talks to purchase a 27% stake in the Hammers.
The investment could also lead to a full takeover, as financiers believe the deal is expected to include an option to take full control of West Ham after an unspecified period.
Kretinsky’s investment is set to take West Ham’s value up to a sum in the region of £600m – £700m.
Sky News add that the transaction could be announced as early as the first weekend of November.
Kretinsky is the largest shareholder in Royal Mail, and is also the second-largest shareholder in Sainsbury’s.

It’s hard to believe Spurs were the ones in a Champions League final as recently as 2019.
Nevertheless, let’s see what the Tottenham fans on Twitter have been saying about West Ham after the news about Kretinsky emerged…
