Another US-based investment firm is being linked with interest in Everton.
777 Partners LLC, which has invested in a network of clubs across the world, is the latest organisation understood to be considering a move to buy into the club.
The interest, initially reported by the Bloomberg news outlet, comes as majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri continues to hunt for investment in Everton. He has repeatedly insisted the club is not up for sale but has said he is exploring financing options as work continues on the club's new waterfront stadium. It is thought he would be open to minority investment.
