West Ham United seek fresh investment, advisers at Rothschild & Co involved
West Ham United are among several Premier League clubs seeking new investment to remain competitive at the top level, according to The Sun.
Matt Hughes’ article [13 June] explains that the Hammers are using advisers at Rothschild & Co to help bring in fresh funds in order to strengthen the squad without breaching FFP regulations.
Tottenham and Brentford are also said to be using the same advisers, as the side in claret and blue embark on a squad reassembly this summer for the Julen Lopetegui era to begin.
West Ham United exploring financial opportunities
West Ham have shown their mettle so far in this transfer window having confirmed the £25m signing of Brazilian teenager Luis Guilherme, with other recruits such as Argentina defender Nehuen Perez set to not be far behind.
It comes as little surprise that the club will be looking for as much professional financial advice as they can get, as toeing the PSR line becomes more crucial than ever.
The Hammers cannot risk falling foul of FFP as other clubs have found out the hard way, with points deductions unravelling the hard work in recruiting players talented enough to bridge these gaps in points during a Premier League season.
The East Londoners did announce a profit from player sales which rose from £1m to £17m in the last tax year, partly offsetting a £12m pre-tax profit tilting into an £18m loss despite lifting the Conference League trophy in 2022-23.
