On September 3-4, 2026, the Gold family (heirs of the late David Gold) agreed to sell their shareholding in Premier League football club West Ham United to Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, making him the largest shareholder of the club. The transaction, which follows Kretinsky’s initial 27 percent stake acquired in 2021, gives him effective control alongside co-owner David Sullivan, who is separately in advanced discussions to sell part of his stake. The value of the Gold family transaction was not disclosed publicly. The Gold family exit ends its involvement following David Gold’s death in 2023. No advisers were named in the accessed sources.
