Amanda Staveley to explore buying London Stadium if West Ham takeover goes through
Amanda Staveley would explore purchasing the London Stadium if she is successful in buying a significant stake in West Ham, according to The Times.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says he is open to “any discussions” on the matter, with West Ham currently tenants of the ground.
The stadium, built for the 2012 Olympics, could be available for as little as £50m given how much it is paid by the taxpayer.

Jamie Vardy is a free agent after leaving Cremonese following their Serie A relegation.
The 39-year-old scored seven goals last term as he adjusted to life in Italy pretty well – but he could be in line for a stunning return to England.
