Farhad Moshiri has insisted he is not looking to sell Everton but remains open to “minority investment” to finance the club’s new stadium at Bramley Moore dock and to strengthen Frank Lampard’s squad.
A consortium led by the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon and including the US real estate magnate Maciek Kaminski has held talks in recent months with the Everton owner over a possible takeover. Moshiri, however, is adamant Everton are not for sale and he is only seeking additional investment into a club that has recorded losses of more than £370m in the past three financial years. The club has made only one signing this summer, the defender James Tarkowski on a free transfer, and has sold the influential Richarlison for an initial £50m to Tottenham.
