The owners of the London Stadium are closing in on a multi-million pound deal with Vodafone for the naming rights to West Ham’s home.
Negotiations between the telecoms giants and London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) are at an advanced stage. A six-year agreement is expected after several months of talks.
West Ham are entitled to 50 per cent of the proceeds from naming rights above £4million per year. If sold for £6m a year, it would mean another £1m windfall for the Premier League club.
Turkish side Besiktas, who were previous managed by West Ham boss Slaven Bilic, currently play at the Vodafone Arena in Istanbul.
