(Reuters) - Shares in David Beckham-backed Guild Esports surged more than 54% in early trading on Monday, after the gaming firm said it is planning to agree to a takeover offer from California-based investment management company DCB Sports.
The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed by Guild Esports, which last week said it was "actively exploring" a range of options to allow it to meet its short-term liabilities.
