Another day, another exciting chapter in the saga that is Everton. Sale talks rumble on, with Farhad Moshiri said to have held talks over stadium finance, only to neatly progress to a discussion on selling the club outright.
A man with historically strong business ties to an oligarch sanctioned for his own strong business ties to Vladimir Putin is now considering selling the club to a man with strong business and political ties to Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. It almost seems like the inevitable progression.
All of that - and even the obvious rider that talks will be troubled and difficult because of Everton’s dire financial position after three years of massive losses - hasn’t stopped yet more transfer speculation. There are links to yet another midfielder and more intrigue over the future of one of the Blues' most-saleable assets. Mirror Sport takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours from Goodison Park.
