West Ham deny sale rumours

 

West Ham United owners David Sullivan and David Gold face paying a huge rebate to the Government if they sell the club before 2023.

Covenants relating to move to the former Olympic Stadium tie the pair to levies in the event of a club sale.

West Ham are reported to be the subject of interest from a US consortium, but the club deny any bid or that the Hammers are for sale.

CEO Karren Brady has put a £800 million valuation on the Hammers.
