Everton have reportedly held preliminary talks with a US-based special purpose acquisition company with regards to a takeover.
According to Bloomberg, a SPAC led by Los Angeles-based producers Jeffrey Soros, the nephew of hedge fund tycoon George Soros, and Simon Horsman have held early talks over a potential deal through their LAMF Global Ventures Corp vehicle, which counts former Everton director Keith Harris as a special advisor.
The report claims that the SPAC, which raised $253m in its initial public offering back in November 2021, is targeting a European football club but stresses that deliberations between the two parties are in their infancy. Everton declined to comment on the speculation.
