West Ham United's owners are seeking fresh investment.
The Sunday Telegraph says West Ham have put 20 per cent of the club up for sale to raise £80million to help clear their debts.
The club's co-owner David Sullivan said that he values West Ham at £400million once the club goes into the Olympic Stadium the season after next.
"We've no desire to give up the whole club," he told the Telegraph. "But we're still £110million in debt - albeit now £55million of that is to ourselves. So the third-party debt has been halved but only because we've put the money in. We lost £30million when we went down (relegated to the Championship in 2011) and we made £10million on paper last year. But what's on paper is not cash-flow and we have to pay down debt all the time and we have to be clear of bank debt when we move to the Olympic Stadium.
"I'd love someone to come in and buy 20 per cent and the money would not go to us it would go to the club. But we won't be giving it away and we'd want market value for it. Going to the Olympic Stadium we are a £400million club and that would pay down most of the debt. But if it doesn't happen we will dig into our pockets and keep the club afloat."
