Everton takeover interest explained
Having gone through a period of silence on the takeover front, the past week at Everton has seen reports emerge that two parties remain interested in acquiring the club, writes Dave Powell.
Everton owner Farhad Moshiri moved to reaffirm his commitment to the cause and the club's future back in July after talks between a US consortium featuring real estate tycoon Maciek Kaminski, oil magnate John Thornton and former Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon ended following the expiry of the exclusivity period.

Kaminski was reported last week to be in 'advanced talks' once more regarding a takeover, although sources on both sides have informed the ECHO that little has 'materially changed' from the position in the summer where interest remained but no headway had been made. Kaminski is now operating without Kenyon and Thornton , and while dialogue is said to have continued over investment in the stadium project, nothing is imminent.
On Wednesday it was reported by Bloomberg that a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) fronted by the nephew of famed hedge fund heavyweight George Soros had held preliminary talks over a takeover move. Jeff Soros and Simon Horsman, Los Angeles-based film producers, are the men behind the reported talks, done through their LAMF Global Ventures Corp vehicle . Everton have declined to comment.

Borussia Dortmund 'hold advantage' over Mohammed Kudus
Everton could face competition for target Mohammed Kudus if he's still on their radar next summer, according to reports.
The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Ajax star in the summer, but a deal never materialised as he remained with the Dutch club. Despite reports he 'missed training' in order to force through a move, the Ghana international has had a flying start to the 2022/23 campaign.
So far this term, Kudus has scored eight goals for Ajax in all competitions and he's found the back of the net in all three of their Champions League group stage matches so far.
Now, according to German outlet BILD, Borussia Dortmund have Kudus in their sights and could present fierce competition for the player should Everton retain any interest.
