A professional gaming company co-owned by David Beckham is set to become the first esports business to list on the London Stock Exchange.
Guild Esports will look to raise around £20m by listing 40pc of its shares in a deal being led by UK-based investment firm Zeus Capital.
The company was founded in June and aims to develop an academy that will coach gamers to compete at a professional level. It plans to recruit up to 20 professional gamers by the end of next year.
