West Ham are in talks with a US investor over the potential sale of David Gold shares at the club.

Gold, who sadly passed away in xx, now has his family in control of his 25.1% stake in the club, with the family open to selling to the right person who can come in to help take the club forward.

It has been exclusively reported by club insider ExWHUEmployee that the club are now in talks with a wealthy investor from the United States over the sale of the shares.

“We can exclusively reveal that a wealthy American has been preparing to make an offer for David Gold’s shares of the club,” stated Ex on The West Ham Way Patreon. “It is well known that the Gold family are prepared to listen to offers for their percentage which is thought to be around 25.1 of the club.

“Whether an acceptable offer will ever be made is currently in negotiations now. Whilst the potential American investor’s identity isn’t known yet he said to be quite wealthy. It is important to stress that this is at the very early stages and such movement may not have even got back to the club yet.”

ExWHUEmployee has, however, stated that the talks are only at the drawing board/Lawyer stage at present.
