Everton could be impacted by potential agreement between the government and the Premier League over the removal of gambling sponsors from the front of shirts.
With a white paper on gambling regulation in the UK set to be published in the coming weeks, the BBC report that the government are 'likely' to agree a deal with the Premier League where clubs would be urged to make 'voluntary changes' to front of shirt sponsorships, which are prevalent in English football's top tier with eight of the 20 members clubs having front of shirt deals with gambling firms.
Everton are among those eight teams having signed a 'club record' multi-year deal with online casino Stake.com last year. That deal arrived after the Blues took up an option to end its previous main partnership with online car dealer Cazoo early.
