Everton could suffer investment blow as billionaire set to launch £3.1bn takeover bid for Tottenham Hotspur
A billionaire whose sports investment firm had been in talks with Everton over a minority stake is targeting a full takeover of Tottenham Hotspur.
Jahm Najafi, who until recently was part owner of the Phoenix Suns, is to table a $3.75bn (£3.1bn) offer for the North London club, according to the Financial Times, with his MSP Sports Capital business that he co-owns with former sports agent Jeff Moorad part of the plans alongside a consortia of other investors.

Najafi is said to be 'weeks away' from formally approaching Spurs owner Joe Lewis and chairman Daniel Levy, according to FT sources. The offer would see Tottenham valued at $3bn before adding $750m of debt. It is claimed it would be MSP and partners contributing 70 per cent of the purchase price while the remaining 30 per cent would come from the MENA region, mainly Abu Dhabi.
The news will come as a blow to Everton's hopes of inward investment after the club had been in talks with MSP Sports Capital in recent weeks.

'With all respect' - Seamus Coleman makes Sean Dyche claim after Everton shin pad order and 'tough' sessions
Seamus Coleman believes there is more to Sean Dyche’s management style than old school training methods and has opened up the 'tough' start to life under Everton’s new manager.
Dyche was appointed as Frank Lampard’s successor last month. Lampard arrived at Goodison Park in January 2022 and although he helped the club avoid the drop last season, he departed the Blues on January 23 with 15 points and three wins from 20 games this term.
Making an impact in his first training session at the club, some Everton stars were pictured bending over out of breath, as Dyche worked his players into the ground. Much was made of the images, while an insistence on shin-pads being worn in training and a ban on snoods are just two of the rules that have been introduced by the former Burnley boss.
