MSP Sports Capital 'close' to deal with Premier League club amid Tottenham takeover talk

MSP Sports Capital are reportedly close to an agreement with Everton over investing into the club.

Everton's Premier League rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, have been name-checked as a potential option for MSP Sports Capital with the Financial Times reporting that they were set to approach the north London side with an offer for 70% of the club. It has been claimed that Spurs owners Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy were expecting a bid for Spurs with MSP chairman Jahm Najafi reportedly keen on a move.
