The Gold family have put a proportion of their stake in West Ham up for sale.
Vanessa Gold, who became joint-chair of the club this summer following the death of her father David, has enlisted the Rothschild & Co. bank to sound out interest among potential investors.
The Gold family trust owns a 25 per cent share in West Ham, making it the third-largest shareholder behind David Sullivan, who owns just shy of 39 per cent, and Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, who bought a 27 per cent stake in 2021.
It is understood that Gold could be willing to sell up to 10 per cent of the club, but that a single-figure percentage is more likely.
“I would consider selling a proportion of our shares to the right partner,” Gold said in a statement. “I have spoken to each of the other three major shareholders at West Ham United, David Sullivan, Daniel KÅetínský and Tripp Smith, who have been very supportive.
“Any transaction to purchase some of our shares will be with my father’s legacy at the forefront of my mind which, of course, prioritises his beloved West Ham United.
“I have appointed Rothschild & Co to advise us on any discussions and will keep the other shareholders, the Club and our supporters updated on any significant developments.”
