English Premier League football club West Ham United is looking for a new sponsor after partner Alpari (UK) collapsed in the aftermath of the Swiss currency shock, according to reports.
A West Ham United statement read: “The Club would like to offer its sympathies to any Alpari staff affected by the announcement, particularly those that have worked closely with us over the past few years.
“The Board would like to reassure supporters that Alpari (UK) Limited's situation will have no impact on West Ham United.
“The Club remains in a strong financial position and just last month published accounts showing record revenues and a group profit of £10.3million before tax.
“The Club has received huge interest and is already in advanced discussions with potential new shirt sponsors for next year.”
Alpari signed a three-year multimillion pound sponsorship deal with West Ham in February 2013 under which the firm's name is displayed on their team shirts. The deal, which is thought to be worth around £3m per season was due to last until the 2015/16 season.
