West Ham United are currently enduring a tough Premier League campaign and are set to finish just 17th in the top flight.

The Hammers are winless in their last eight league outings before taking on Manchester United on Sunday.

Graham Potter has failed to steer the London Stadium side to victory since a 2-0 win over Leicester on 27 February, and has not proven to be a good managerial appointment so far.

Meanwhile, an American is currently looking to invest in shares in West Ham ahead of the summer transfer window.

Gold family prepared to sell 25.1% shares in West Ham

Potter’s men will be eager to get back on form with a victory over Europa League finalists Man United on Sunday.

Meanwhile, as reported by The West Ham Way, Hammers insider ExWHUEmployee has revealed that David Gold’s family are open to selling their 25.1% stake in the London club.

The report adds that Potter’s side are now in talks with a wealthy investor from the United States, but the talks are currently at the lawyer stage.

West Ham must get back on form

The London Stadium outfit must enjoy a strong summer transfer window as they look to rebuild after a poor Premier League season.

Just last term, West Ham enjoyed a top-half finish under David Moyes, but the Hammers currently look destined to finish 17th and can count themselves lucky that the bottom three clubs have already been relegated.

The East Londoners are set for a busy transfer window, while several high-profile players, including Mohammed Kudus, could be making their exits.

Meanwhile, Potter’s men are still awaiting the outcome of Lucas Paqueta’s hearing, and the Brazilian could still be handed a lifetime ban by the FA amid betting charges.

The presence of new stakeholders could help West Ham enjoy a positive summer of recruitment as they look to shape a more positive future.

For now, though, the Hammers must get themselves back on form as they strive to end an otherwise poor season strongly.
