The Communications Director of Straumur has denied reports in The Sun that former Chairman Eggert Magnusson has made an approach to purchase West Ham. Magnusson, who was fired in December 2007, is, according to the tabloid, planning to become the club's new owner.
The story further claims that Magnusson has made his interest known to the Hammers current interim owners.
However Georg Andersen, Straumur's Communications Director, has issued a statement denying any contact with Magnusson - whilst adding that there are currently no plans to sell West Ham United FC.
