West Ham are the subject of a major multi-million investment into the club although this may be some weeks away should it happen
Claret and Hugh have been told that agents and intermediaries are acting on behalf of certain third parties willing to invest are looking at options. The investment would not become takeover of the club with David Sullivan remaining the majority shareholder.
Sullivan and Gold have long made it clear since they took over the club they would welcome other investors to share the financial strain.
In 2017 American millionaire Tripp Smith invested in West Ham taking a 10% shareholding and loaning the club £9.5m interest-free.
According to our source, there is a chance of a new investor joining the existing shareholders but first they would need to show proof of funds before any transaction can proceed.
Currently, David Sullivan owns 51.5% of the shares David Gold 35.1%Tripp Smith 10% Terry Brown and Daniel Harris 3.4%

Manchester United’s £20-£30 million price tag on Jesse Lingard is over the top and the Old Trafford club are likely to have to settle for much less once negotiations get underway.
That is affected by his slip from the highs of his opening games and missing out on the Three Lions Euro squad.
At 28 years of age and with just a year left on his deal |United will be having to settle for something closer to £15 million according to agents well known to Claret and Hugh.
With covid still a problem on finances the two clubs will also need to organise a payment instalment system which takes account of difficulties on both sides
Despite a story in the Sun claiming the attacking midfielder wants to stay at the club, senior sources at OT have made it clear to us that a West Ham switch is the more likely outcome.
However, nothing is likely to be sorted until after the Euros with David Moyes involved as a technical consultant at the competition.
Several agents have told us they believe a fee of between £15m – £18 million is far more realistic with personal fees over three years to be organised at around £100k a week with one saying: “Anything more than that is OTT at Jesse’s age given his lack of football over a year.”

Why don't we just go get 25 year old Matheus Pereira for more than likely the same price , who in my eyes would be consistently better with the potential to improve even more .

Pereira might get better than Lingard one day but at the moment Lingard is better.

We will have to agree to disagree !
12 goals and 6 assists in a struggling West Brom side is no mean feat in 34 matches , The only season Lingard has got anywhere near those figures was the 17/18 season at Man Utd in 48 matches , he also averages 1.8 key passes per game compared to Lingards 0.9.
