Daniel Levy last week rather shockingly left West Ham’s fierce rivals Tottenham.
Levy left Spurs on Thursday night, after nearly 25 years as chairman of Tottenham, opening up talks of a possible takeover in North London.
West Ham are under the stewardship of David Sullivan, but there has been talk of PCP International launching a takeover bid in the past.
PSC are headed by Amanda Staveley, who also played a part in Newcastle United’s takeover.
Levy’s departure has led to Staveley’s consortium being rumoured to take over Spurs, and she has addressed the rumours publicly for the first time.

Amanda Staveley confirms PCP International don’t intend to make Tottenham offer
Staveley has confirmed on Monday that PCP are not intending to launch a bid to take over Tottenham Hotspur in the immediate future.
Staveley was instrumental in pushing through the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund’s takeover of fellow Premier League rival Newcastle, but a second takeover is not on the cards in North London.
Tottenham fans have been lobbying for years against the ENIC ownership and Joe Lewis, but it looks like they are set to keep control of the Lilywhites for the foreseeable future.
West Ham were linked with a takeover by the same consortium just 12 months ago, when David Moyes left the club after four and a half years in charge at the London Stadium.
PCP investment in West Ham would transform the club
David Sullivan has been much maligned as West Ham owner due to his lack of a clear vision and reckless spending on flop signings.
The truth is, in a Premier League where money is quickly dominating, the Hammers are falling behind and stagnating under Sullivan‘s limited financial resources.
As seen at Newcastle, Saudi Arabian owners are willing to invest heavily to achieve the results desired by both themselves and the fans, with the Magpies winning the Carabao Cup and qualifying for the Champions League on two occasions.
There have been good moments under Sullivan, but if the Saudis return to East London, he needs to listen to what they have to say.
With Staveley’s group not interested in Tottenham, the question now is whether there is still any sort of interest in West Ham?
