Staveley-led consortium agrees deal for minority stake in West Ham

Vanessa Gold has confirmed she has agreed to sell her stake in the club to a consortium led by former Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley.

Gold, who succeeded her father David as joint-chair of the Hammers following his death in 2023, has a deal in place with a group headed by Staveley, her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi and PCP Capital Partners for her family's 25.1 per cent holding.
