Georgian businessman Badri Patarkatsishvili has revealed he is considering investing in a potential bid for West Ham.

The Hammers confirmed earlier on Friday they have already been involved in "exploratory discussions" with regard to a possible takeover of the club.
Kia Joorabchian, the Iranian-born businessman who orchestrated the transfer of Argentina internationals Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano to West Ham, has been strongly linked with the bid.
And a spokesman for Patarkatsishvili revealed tonight: "It is true that Kia Joorabchian is my friend and we have done
business together in the past.
"At this time I am not involved in any possible bid for West Ham but I am thinking about it and cannot exclude such a possibility in the future."
