Amanda Staveley, the former Newcastle United backer who worked alongside Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund on the Newcastle takeover, is reported to be in talks to invest in West Ham United. Multiple outlets say her consortium is discussing the purchase of a minority stake in the club, which is currently playing in the Championship after being relegated from the Premier League.
Sky News says Staveley is looking at buying a Gold stake in West Ham, describing the bid as a potential minority investment. BBC Sport adds that the talks involve acquiring a 25% stake in the club. Both accounts frame the negotiations as preliminary, with no confirmed deal or timing reported.
The reports do not provide additional details on the valuation, funding structure, or whether any stake purchase would include governance rights. They also do not specify the likelihood of closing, the parties involved beyond the Staveley-led consortium, or any conditions attached to the talks.
