adminLONDON. — English Premiership soccer side Everton are in discussions with a United States-led consortium about a potential £200m takeover. The group, led by former owner of the San Diego Padres baseball team John Jay Moores and fellow entrepreneur Charles Noell, have been in talks with Toffees owner Bill Kenwright in recent months.
Moores and Noell have previously been interested in investing in Swansea.
The consortium is expected to perform due diligence on Everton’s accounts over the next few weeks.
The Toffees have declined to comment on the latest interest — but there have been several parties pondering a deal to buy the Premier League club this year. — BBC Sport.
