Cagliari president Massimo Cellino has joined the bidding to buy West Ham United. Cellino will join financial group Intermarket, Malaysian tycoon Tony Fernandez and former Birmingham owners David Sullivan and David Gold all bidding to take control.
Now Cellino has emerged as a fresh bidder and reports suggest he has flown to London to open talks with West Ham's current owners, Iceland-based CB Holdings.
Cellino is known to be close friends with current West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola - who played for Cagliari for two-years at the end of his career.
"I want to save the team," Cellino is quoted by La Repubblica .
