Everton’s 2024/25 season could not have gotten off to much worse of a start to what it has over the last month.

Sean Dyche‘s side remain rock bottom of the Premier League table having lost all four of their opening games in the league.

And Everton have now been eliminated from the Carabao Cup following their penalty shootout exit against Southampton during the week.

However, there is something going on off the field on Merseyside which will provide the fans with some hope for the future.

John Textor entered a period of exclusivity earlier this summer to complete his purchase of Everton from Farhad Moshiri.

And after weeks of work behind the scenes, it seems as if the two parties could now be closing in on an agreement.

How close is John Textor to securing Everton takeover

It has recently been suggested that Textor has been handed a financial boost in his bid to takeover at Everton.

With the American now the clear frontrunner in the race to secure the keys for Goodison Park, Textor has been reaching out to some business partners for financial aid.

One of those being Aliya Capital who are believed to be of extreme wealth.

And according to Alan Myers, Textor’s move for Everton could now be entering its final stages with a deal looking ever closer.

The Sky Sports man has claimed the deal is progressing well and the agreement between Moshiri and Textor is expected to be reached ‘very soon’.

However, that is not the end of the takeover situation with that then leading to Textor needing to sort out the finances needed to buy the club.

And given he is also still required to sell his shares in Crystal Palace, there could still be a long road ahead of the American.

A boost is needed at Goodison Park with the performances on the pitch leaving a lot to be desired in these opening weeks.

There have been questions over the future of Dyche at Everton following his pointless start to the Premier League campaign.

However, Dyche is said to have the full backing of Moshiri despite his struggles so far this season.

Whether a change in ownership may make a difference to the manager’s future on Merseyside is another question altogether.
