Proposed Manchester United buyer Sheikh Jassim 'will consider' acquiring ANOTHER Premier League club should he fail to complete the purchase of the Red Devils.

Jassim is going head-to-head with Sir Jim Ratcliffe for Man United, with the Glazers putting the club up for sale.

The Qatari banker is hellbent on snapping up the Premier League giants, having recently submitted a fourth bid.

However, the current American owners prefer Ratcliffe's bid, which would see Jassim miss out on owning the Old Trafford side.

But, according to stunning reports, he could still land an English club in the top flight.

Per Spanish outlet El Pais, Jassim has set his sights on West Ham United should his pursuit of Man United fall through.

The report claims Qatar Investment Bank - headed up by Jassim - are now 'beginning to assess other entry options in the Premier League'.

El Pais continued: "Their first alternative is to buy West Ham, which together with Tottenham, is the club with the most fans [stadium capacity] in London.

"West Ham guarantees a full house every weekend."

West Ham are currently not up the sale, with majority owner David Sullivan not wanting to sell his stake.

Though he could be tempted if Jassim lodges a huge offer to buy the East London outfit.

The Hammers, who beat Leeds United 3-1 on Sunday, had been involved in a relegation battle earlier in the season amid a difficult campaign.

But they've pulled away from the relegation zone and even have a European final to look forward to having booked their spot in the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina next month.

Will West Ham be owned by Jassim next season? Watch this space.
