American investment fund 777 Partners are close to agreeing a stunning deal to takeover Everton.
Back in May, Mail Sport revealed that 777 Partners had been leading the race to buy the Toffees but that their £600m offer had not been enough to convince unpopular owner Farhad Moshiri to sell.
Rival American outfit MSP Sports Capital then became confident that they could complete a deal for the club but that also fell through last month.
In the wake of MSP Sports Capital pulling out the race, 777 Partners are now close to finalising a deal to buy the Merseyside club.
