Staveley eyes West Ham stake and London Stadium purchase

Amanda Staveley is reportedly interested in acquiring a stake in West Ham United and would also pursue the purchase of the London Stadium, according to Mirror Football.

The businesswoman is said to be considering a move that could reshape the club's long-term future, with the stadium's ownership seen as a key element of the proposal. The report adds that the Mayor of London is open to selling the venue.

However, any deal faces a potential obstacle: a three-year wait before the purchase could be completed. The reasons for the delay were not detailed in the report, but it suggests that Staveley's plans would not come to fruition in the near term.

West Ham have played at the London Stadium since 2016, and the club's relationship with the venue has been a frequent topic of debate. A change in ownership of both the club and the stadium could have significant implications for their future, though no formal bid has been confirmed.
