The family of late West Ham co-owner David Gold has agreed to sell its stake in the Premier League club to a consortium led by Amanda Staveley, the former Newcastle co-owner.
Vanessa Gold, David Gold's daughter, confirmed the plan to sell the family's shares, according to BBC Sport. The move would hand Staveley and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi a significant holding in the east London club.
Sky Sports reported that Staveley and Ghodoussi's company, PCP Capital Partners, has made an offer to buy a 25.1 per cent stake in West Ham.
The Gold family has been involved with West Ham for many years. David Gold co-owned the club until his death in 2023. The sale is subject to approval by the Premier League, which must vet prospective owners and directors.
Neither the club nor the consortium has formally commented on the reported agreement, but Vanessa Gold's confirmation signals that the deal is moving forward. The purchase would make Staveley a major figure at West Ham, adding to her profile in English football after her time at Newcastle United.
The deal's completion will depend on regulatory clearance and final terms between the parties.
