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.
Now, The Times reports that a deal to provide investment with Everton in order to help finance the club's new stadium is 'close'. Everton have been struggling financially and had to sell Anthony Gordon in January to comply with financial fair play rules and let Richarlison go to Spurs last summer for the same reason.
