Guild Esports Plc, part-owned by British football star David Beckham, agreed to be taken over by sports investment company DCB Sports after the gaming company warned it was running out of cash.

If the deal goes ahead, California-based DCB will provide capital to run the Guild brand, although no financial terms were disclosed. Guild Esports said it’s still in talks with other parties.
