Everton have held preliminary talks with a US consortium over a potential takeover, according to a Bloomberg report.
The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is led by Los Angeles-based producers Jeffrey Soros and Simon Horsman, while the vehicle which they will invest through - LAMF Global Ventures Corp - lists former Everton director Keith Harris as a special advisor.
The group are reportedly targeting investment in European football with the Premier League an obvious opportunity - especially given the recent influx of American investment and influence in the competition. But talks between the two parties are said to remain in their infancy. Everton have been approached for comment.
