Alisher Usmanov is open to investing in Everton after agreeing to the sale of his stake in Arsenal to Stan Kroenke in a £1.8 billion ($2.3bn) takeover.
The Russian billionaire first acquired a stake in the Gunners back in 2007, but was left frustrated in his efforts to take control of the club.
With Kroenke now at the helm in north London, Goal recently revealed that Usmanov had accepted a £550m ($712m) offer for his 30 per cent shareholding.
He claims to have received “many proposals” since agreeing to sever ties with Arsenal, with clubs across Europe prepared to welcome an injection of funds.
