MSP Capital, a US investment firm, is considering making an investment in Everton and have held initial discussions.
Farhad Moshiri, Everton’s major shareholder, has made it clear for some time that he is looking for another group to come in and provide backing to help bolster the club’s finances and see through the completion of their £500million new stadium development.
A report in Bloomberg said that MSP, which was founded by Jeff Moorad – a former sports agent – and the American-Iranian businessman Jahm Najafi had been engaged in preliminary discussions with Moshiri, a British-Iranian billionaire.
